To meet the demands of today’s business student, Webster offers an economics “flex track” program that allows you the flexibility and variety to shape the degree to fit your unique interests.

All economics majors then complete their degree by choosing courses from one of three tracks: mathematical economics, business economics or liberal arts economics.
Economics graduates are employed in a wide range of industries, including government, politics, journalism, banking, insurance, and other financial sectors.
