Liberal Arts Concentration

Quick Facts

  • Delivery: On-campus
  • Credits: 33–42

The Liberal Arts Economics concentration is a flexible option ideal for students interested in government, policy, or law. This concentration includes five optional tracks:

  • General
  • Economics and Law
  • Financial Economics
  • Health Economics and Public Policy
  • Political Economy

This path does not require the business core, making it well-suited for students outside the Miller College of Business. You’ll complete liberal arts core courses and choose from a variety of economics electives, allowing you to tailor your education to your interests and career goals.

The Financial Economics track, for example, pairs well with majors in mathematical sciences or actuarial science, especially for those planning to attend graduate school in economics or business. Students interested in law school may find that a double major in economics and political science enhances their preparation.

This concentration prepares students for a range of fulfilling careers in economics, public service, law, and policy-making.
