About the Program

The economics major is designed for students who want to make economics the focus of their education. Students can choose to specialize their program with a financial economics track. 

In this major, you won't just learn about economic theories but also how to apply these tools to analyze issues of business, society and public policy. The economics major provides a strong foundation for careers in the business, nonprofit and government sectors as well as graduate degrees in economics, business, law and much more.

In addition to fundamental courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics and statistics, you'll take topic-focused upper-level courses of your choice ranging from urban economics to health economics to issues of gender. You also have the option to gain hands-on experience in internships and conduct independent research studies for credit. 

*Transfer students must take a minimum of 15 units in economics at Towson University to qualify for an Economics major.*
