Department Overview
The Economics and Finance Department offers courses that
introduce students to cutting-edge economic and finance theories
and their application to domestic and global issues. At the
undergraduate level, the Department offers a Bachelor of Arts in
economics through St. John’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences,
a Bachelor of Science in economics through the Tobin College of
Business, and a Bachelor of Science in finance through the Tobin
College of Business. The bachelor’s degrees may be pursued as
terminal degrees for students seeking careers in business, banking,
securities, insurance, government, and other professions, or they
may serve as a prelude to graduate study in economics, finance,
business, law, education, and other disciplines. Undergraduate
students have the opportunity to intern during their senior year
with prestigious businesses and financial institutions in the
metropolitan area. Undergraduate students also have the opportunity
to participate in The Student Managed Investment Funds program to
manage a live portfolio of approximately $1.7 million. The newly
established Financial Information Lab provides analytical tools and
data sources for them and other business students at the Tobin
College of Business to study and make investment decisions similar
to those available at a securities firm. (keep, if there is an
