Majoring in Economics If you are a student who enjoys studying economics and are interested in pursuing a career in business, public service or graduate school studying economics, you will find the economics major ideally suited for your needs. This major allows you to study the field of business within a liberal arts setting and is the best program offered at Illinois College to prepare you for entering a career in business. You not only develop critical thinking skills through your study of economics, but you begin to better understand the professional environment of business, public service or future graduate work. Economics majors are highly encouraged to complete double majors or minors in related areas. These additional areas of study help enhance your marketability for entry-level management positions upon graduation and, depending on your choice of double major or minor, may also help enhance your likelihood of success in graduate school. Recommended complementary minors include: business, finance, accounting, math, and political science.
