Economists study the implications of such decisions and how these decisions impact our lives. The well-trained economist has a solid understanding of economic theory as well as the technical tools to apply this theory to make informed choices. Not surprisingly, these skills are valuable in the job market. They also help students prepare for graduate studies in economics, law or related fields.
The economics major is an excellent springboard to many interesting careers, graduate school or professional programs. The Department of Economics at Kansas State University offers specialized tracks in analytical economics, public policy, business economics and financial economics. If you prefer to build your own area of emphasis or obtain a second major, the general economics degree is built for flexibility.
