Are you a persistent problem-solver who is good with details? A St. Kate’s economics major will appeal to your analytical nature and give you a global perspective on economics through a social justice lens.

A major in economics is flexible and combines well with another major or minor, such as accounting, sales, or political science, to provide you with a more specialized set of skills.

As a part of the economics program at St Kate's, class discussions will encourage critical thinking and writing in class, and also feature student presentations to build your communication skills.

You’ll study questions as diverse as the causes of labor market discrimination, how to improve education for women and girls, why recessions occur, and business profitability.

In addition, St. Kate’s offers a robust collaborative undergraduate research program that gives students opportunities to conduct research with faculty mentors and present their findings at local, regional, and national conferences, as well as discipline-specific symposiums.
