Knowledge of economics is crucial in an increasingly globalized world, where the exchange of and competition for goods and services impacts everything from small-scale community decision-making to geopolitics.
Drawing on a broad spectrum of theories, Gettysburg's major explores how economic forces contribute to social problems and solutions. Collaborating closely with professors, students examine economics in historical and contemporary contexts, learn to model complex systems, and gain critical-thinking, writing, and analytical skills.
An economics major is ideal preparation for graduate work in economics, management, business, law, and other fields, and builds a strong foundation for success in a wide range of corporate, nonprofit, and public sector careers.
