Economics

Graceland offers a bachelor of art degree with a major in economics on the Lamoni campus. The economics major is built around a group of core courses, including courses in microeconomics and macroeconomics. Students develop an understanding of economic theory and quantitative methods and learn how to apply this economic way of thinking to a broad range of real world topics. These core courses are supplemented by a series of electives that enable students to focus on their specific areas of interest. These electives include: Money & Banking, Economics of Sports, International Economics, Economic Development, Managerial Economics, Investment Analysis, Entrepreneurship & Free Enterprise, and Contemporary Economic Issues. The student's program of study culminates in a senior Research Seminar. Graduates enter careers in areas such as business and finance or pursue graduate degrees in law, business, or economics.
