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 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

- 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

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.
