Economics is the study of how we allocate resources among alternative
uses to satisfy our wants. Virtually all of the public and personal
issues, which confront us today, have an important economic component.
For this reason, the economic way of thinking plays a valuable role
in helping us make sense of the complex world in which we live. In addition,
the study of economics is excellent preparation for a wide range of
careers. Economics majors with bachelor's degrees are well prepared
to be managers in both the public and private sectors. Training in economics
also provides a solid basis for professional study in law, business,
public administration, and the health sciences.
The Temple Economics Society is the student professional organization
for economics majors, and is open to all students interested in economics.
Economics majors may also become members of Omicron Delta Epsilon (ODE),
the National Honor Society, if they meet the admissions requirements
of the organization. For more information, please contact Dr. William
Holmes at william.holmes@temple.edu or phone 214-204-8175

it is highly recommended. If you do not take this course, you
will need to take an additional business elective.

Economics 200+ requirement that is required in all majors.
5 The number of business electives
required depends on what courses are chosen to satisfy the technology
and international areas and also whether BA 0215 was taken. |
