Do you have a head for numbers and the drive for the world of business? As a St. Kate’s financial economics major, you will be prepared to take on a career in the financial sector or a graduate degree. A degree in financial economics furnishes you a solid theoretical foundation as well as practical business and finance knowledge.

Financial economics is a flexible major and combines well with accounting, giving you the tools to expand your options in the corporate world or pursue a role as public accountant or actuary.

We teach economics through social justice. This means you won’t just study basic theories — together we challenge the assumptions of those theories, always exploring alternative solutions!

St. Kate’s robust collaborative undergraduate research program gives you opportunities to conduct research with faculty mentors and present your findings at local, regional, and national conferences, as well as discipline-specific symposiums.

Internships at organizations and corporations across the Twin Cities will give you practical experience and deeper knowledge, helping you build a network of support.
