Introduction

Economics at Redlands emphasizes both the cultural and technical aspects of the field. A degree in Economics will provide you with a wealth of tools for understanding human behavior and the sources of wealth and poverty in nations.

Its usefulness goes beyond the realms of market and trade, to encompass most social institutions and fields of study: government, sociology, psychology, and the environment: even the study of greed, happiness, and Utopian economics. We offer three distinct degree programs to enable you to tailor your study of Economics to your interests.

Degree programs

The Major

The major program in Economics can be designed to earn either a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics or Financial Economics or a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics.

  • ECON 101 Principles of Economics
  • MATH 111 Elementary Statistics with Applications OR POLI 202 Statistical Analysis and Mapping of Social Science Data OR CDIS 208 Statistical Methods. Should be taken prior to the junior year and preferably during the sophomore year.
