Economics
Prepare for a global world and tackle humanity's vexing challenges
Many of the world's most pressing problems — unemployment, poverty, inequality, discrimination, underdevelopment, and environmental destruction — have economic roots. Economists study these problems by combining theoretical models, historical context and empirical analysis. The great human interest of the subject together with the rigor of its analysis make the study of economics continuously thought-provoking and relevant.
