BA Economics with Development

Students are prepared for a variety of careers working with international development agencies or governments in the developing world. This may be as an applied economist doing research and forecasting in agricultural production, population changes, trade patterns, market structures, etc., or in managing a development agency implementing, analyzing, and supervising development projects. A regional emphasis in Latin America, Asia, or Africa may be pursued. Research and field internships will be arranged with development agencies to give students work experience and exposure to job opportunities.
