Utica College

Programme overview

The Economics major at Utica University blends core economic theory with practical, hands‑on training and a liberal arts foundation. Students work with facilities such as a full‑featured trading room (including financial workstations and a 65‑foot real‑time stock ticker) and participate in experiential opportunities like the student‑run investment club.

What you'll study

Students investigate production, development, distribution and management of wealth and the dynamics of economic interactions among individuals and groups. The curriculum emphasizes advanced economic theory and culminates in a semester‑long senior project: a research paper on a contemporary social or economic issue. Practical elements include trading‑room practice, internship opportunities, and participation in the investment club that manages a real portfolio worth more than $150,000.
