Minor in Economics
It's a demanding program-and it's a popular field of study for students targeting professions in business, finance and economics, education, and the law. Cal Lutheran's bachelor of arts degree in economics helps prepare students for a world of opportunity, by combining a "mini-core" of business courses with the carefully focused study of economics in a liberal arts environment.
Whichever path they're considering, economics students know that they will be well prepared for a wide variety of careers, across the full range of industries, government agencies, international businesses, and non-profit organizations that make up the economic landscape.
Economics students also benefit from small classes and the School of Business' determination to build close working relationships among students and faculty. They know they'll complete their four-year course of study on time; they're not competing, as are so many students at the nation's larger universities, for scarce seats in overcrowded classrooms. And they know that, when it's time to complete employment or graduate school applications, they'll receive letters of recommendation from faculty who know them well and can comment accurately on their skills and potential.
Most important, thanks to the extensive real-world experience that CLU faculty bring to the classroom, economics majors gain more than just a textbook understanding of this complex field-they also benefit from the perspective of those who have worked as managers and consultants in commerce, industry, and government.
Whether they're heading to law or graduate school, or into careers in commerce, industry, international business or non-profit organizations, economics majors bring a comprehensive understanding of economic principles and a realistic grasp of the world economy to the table.
