Economics Overview

The Department of Business Administration and Economics at Georgetown College seeks to achieve the following goals:

  • To provide students with the intellectual skills needed to deal with the problems, challenges, and opportunities that they will encounter throughout their lives. More specifically, we aim to
    • develop students’ abilities to analyze problems and formulate appropriate solutions
    • develop students’ abilities to communicate ideas effectively
  • To prepare students to be successful and productive individuals. To do so, we strive to
    • prepare students to begin meaningful careers immediately after graduation
    • prepare capable, motivated students to enter good graduate or professional programs
  • To promote growth of personal characteristics that will enable our graduates to become contributing members of their communities. Our specific objectives are to
    • foster development of personal responsibility
    • foster development of leadership skills
    • promote global awareness

The Department is committed to providing a broadly oriented professional education to prepare students for careers in business, government, and not-for-profit organizations. A student majoring in a departmental program will be required to maintain a minor in an area of interest outside the department.
