Management Economics in Industry and Finance

Department of Economics, College of Social and Applied Human Sciences.

The Management Economics in Industry and Finance major is designed to offer students an appreciation of business problems in the areas of industrial organization and finance using the analytical orientation of the discipline of Economics and the tools of Business Management, Marketing and Accounting. This major combines the applied thrust of business courses with the analytical rigor of Economics.

The major provides a suitable education for a career in the business world or in the public service. It also constitutes a useful preparation for more advanced studies, including graduate studies in Economics, Business Administration, Law, and Public Policy. The major is administered by the Department of Economics and students are urged to consult the departmental advisor. A planning guide is available in the department. Students should note that most courses carry prerequisites and that ECON*1100 and ECON*1200 are normally prerequisites for all other courses in Economics.

Students who fail any Economics course twice or who do not achieve a 65% average in Economics courses taken during the first 4 semesters in this major are likely to encounter difficulties in the more advanced courses. They are strongly advised to consult the departmental advisor in Economics to discuss the options available.

For the Management Economics in Industry and Finance major, 9.50 credits are specified, 6.00 are restricted electives and 4.50 are free electives. A possible program sequence is outlined below.
