Stevenson University

What you'll study

Students study core microeconomics and macroeconomics, statistics and econometrics, and elective topics that may include labor economics, public finance, international trade, development economics, and industrial organization. Coursework emphasizes data analysis, critical reading of empirical research, and written and oral presentation of findings. Many programs also offer capstone projects, internships or applied research opportunities to connect classroom concepts with practice.

Entry requirements

Admission is through the university's undergraduate application process. Typical entrants hold a high school diploma or equivalent and present academic transcripts; preparation in mathematics (algebra and introductory calculus or statistics) is recommended. Transfer applicants and those with prior college coursework follow the university's standard transfer-credit and advising procedures.

Career prospects

Graduates enter careers in business, finance, public policy, consulting, and nonprofit research. Typical roles include analyst positions (market, financial or policy), research assistant, program evaluator, and roles in government agencies or international organizations. The degree also provides a solid foundation for graduate study in economics, public policy, business, or law.

Scholarships & funding angle

Prospective students should explore university-wide merit and need-based scholarships, departmental awards, and external scholarships for economics majors. Internships and applied research placements can support funding goals through paid positions or tuition-offset opportunities; the university's financial aid office can advise on loans, work-study and scholarship applications.
