BA in Economics
Learn to analyze the world as you prepare for a career in banking, government agencies, business and more through an economics degree.
Why choose Rowan's economics program?
A useful background for students interested in careers in banking and financial institutions, government agencies and consulting, our program focuses on learning to analyze the world in terms of tradeoffs and incentives — that is, to “think like an economist.”
As an economist, you will study people, firms, governments and markets. While economics can be linked to business, it also pairs well with other fields of study such as psychology, sociology, math, law, journalism and political science.

I love learning about the economy and how it changes — just learning about the history of everything, right now is the best time to be an Economics major.

This department helped me find an internship. Being involved informs me of opportunities such as a case study competition, where the winner’s research is published. That’s huge.
