A concentration on Business Economics provides a student with a solid foundation in all of the fundamental areas of business and combines this with additional work in economic analysis. Students acquire the ability to analyze forces that affect interest rates, incomes, foreign exchange rates, wage rates, employment and unemployment levels, inflation, recession, and the structure and competitiveness of firms and industries. Students also learn how to analyze the effects of public policy changes such as increases or decreases in government spending, taxes, and the money supply.
Past graduates have pursued many career paths as the following examples show:
- Bank Management, financial planning and advising, Governor's Office of Planning and Budget (Utah), capital acquisitions analyst for a major hospital, entrepreneurs/business owners.
