Economics: Applied Financial Economics, AA [ECONAFE-AA, 60 Total Credits]

DESCRIPTION

The Economics degree builds upon a theoretical foundation and statistical training that prepares students to think analytically and critically to solve complex problems as well as to recognize the component of human behavior reflecting economics as a social science. The Associate of Arts Degree with an Economics Emphasis offers the choice between a General Economics track and an Applied Financial Economics (AFE) track.

Completion of the AFE track will include an Internship in Financial Economics with interactive participation of financial institutions.
