专业概况

在这里学什么？

Economics is a social science that examines the decision making process regarding the use of scarce resources such as land, raw materials, labor, machinery, physical structures, etc. At SIUE, students choosing to major in economics will pursue a core program of courses designed to provide a thorough grounding in economic theory. This core program of study is followed by more specialized study in such areas as money and banking, labor and industrial relations, international economics, public finance, industrial organization, and antitrust policy. Our economics students also receive strong training in data analysis and most upper-level courses from the Department of Economics and Finance involve a project in which students solidify their economics knowledge and research skills. Students develop their programs with the counsel of a faculty adviser.

Students pursuing economics at SIUE will complete a course of study designed to lay a foundation in both microeconomics and macroeconomics. Supply and demand, pricing, and the tools utilized to predict the effects of government interventions and regulations on the markets are only a few of the questions that can be answered through the study of microeconomics. The examination of the national economy, including economic growth, unemployment, and factors that affect inflation, fall under the area of macroeconomics. Also included in the study of macroeconomics are domestic factors, such as monetary and fiscal policies, as well as international factors, such as trade and exchange rates.

Lawyers, bankers, those working in investment firms, managers of large and small businesses, government planners, and journalists find that economics is a useful tool in understanding and solving social, economic, and financial problems. The increase in globalization has made knowledge of economics a valuable asset.

Career Opportunities

Many career opportunities are available to students graduating with a degree in economics. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that opportunities for well-prepared economists will grow 14 percent through 2022. Career opportunities will be best for students with strong analytical skills, related work experience, and those who choose to further their education and attend graduate school or pursue a PhD. Although most students will go on to pursue graduate and doctoral education, some entry-level opportunities, primarily in the federal government, are available for those with a bachelor’s degree.

Economists are employed in all areas of private industry; in federal, state, and local government agencies; in international organizations such as the United Nations and the World Bank; in labor unions; and in colleges or universities. Professional economists perform duties including market research, forecasting, corporate planning, policy evaluation, economic impact studies and consulting. The ability of our graduates to think critically and communicate effectively has helped them become valuable contributing employees in the field of economics. Graduates of the economics program at SIUE (including the graduate program) are employed at commercial banks, brokerage firms, government agencies, public utilities, state legislatures, manufacturing and retailing firms, consulting firms, community colleges, and small liberal arts colleges. One popular option among our students is law school, while others continue their economics studies in highly competitive PhD programs.
