Economists work in a variety of jobs in the private sector, the education sector, the non-profit sector, and government agencies. Entry-level positions for economists with a bachelor’s degree include market analysts, consultants, research assistants, data analysts, investment bankers, forecasters, journalists, as well as managers, analysts and leaders in business, banking, government, and non-profit and international organizations.
The Bachelor of Arts degree prepares students for continued graduate education in economics, mathematics, law school, journalism, international affairs, and public policy. Master’s and Ph.D. degrees prepare economists for jobs requiring more quantitative and analytical skills.
