Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Economics] From Bryant University

?Thinking like an economist? requires analytical skills and the ability to identify economic issues and problems while framing issues in ways other people do not see. This way of reasoning also means devising policy proposals for addressing problems and analyzing both the intended and unintended effect of these policies.

With proficiency in the use of statistical and mathematical tools, students will be able to analyze and quantify economic relations to gain knowledge of the framework of the economy.
