Economics, History, and Political Science

Understand the Past. Create Your Future.

Economics is about understanding the world we live in and having the right tools to shape and change it. You will learn to think outside of the box of traditional economics education and develop a critical set of skills to understand the world of production, distribution, consumption, and how it affects corporations, government policies, and your day-to-day life.

History is more than memorizing facts—it’s about understanding the forces that shape our world. You’ll build strong writing, research, and critical thinking skills while studying politics and theory, completing a capstone, joining student clubs, and working with archival materials. Gain the tools to develop ideas, analyze evidence, and craft persuasive arguments.

Political Science helps you decode what candidates are saying and understand what it means to be a strong leader. As a Poli Sci major, you can focus on international relations, comparative politics, and American government while exploring how governments develop and function and how leaders have shaped history.
