About Our Program
Do you follow international and national finance news? Do you appreciate when numbers tell a story and inform decisions? Then a degree in economics is for you. The tools you’ll learn in this emphasis will help you make decisions in areas such as investment, optimal product mixes, budget allocations, locations and competitive strategies, in addition to training in internal and external forecasting.
Students at Mizzou use mathematical models to capture the essential features of complex processes and test the validity of these models against economic data. Equipped with analytical skills and techniques, economics graduates move on to careers in industrial, commercial and financial organizations, as well as governmental units and agencies.
