主要 in economics at Carthage College

经济学 at Carthage strives to teach students to think like economists, empowering them with a self-sustaining capacity to think and learn.

经济学 courses at Carthage focus on understanding and analyzing the relationships and systems that underpin business, 消费者, government actions. Instead of focusing on economic theories, you’ll apply those theories to contemporary economic problems.

As you evaluate the best ways to address income inequality, set interest rates, regulate pollution, counteract the effects of offshoring, you’ll become adept in data analysis, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking — all skills that employers increasingly demand.

“I chose Carthage because of the opportunities to create real connections with other students and professors and also because of the amazing location.”
Colin Graham ’26
