Economics - Bachelor's Degree Program

Franciscan University of Steubenville

Economics Program Overview

Study human behavior and commerce

Guide business and society to ethical successes

The economist studies labor, commerce, enterprise, participation, and exchange and then uses what he or she has learned to make future-oriented, accurate, efficient, and timely decisions on the basis of such environmental scanning.

You’ll be trained in research and arrangement of data, correct analysis and generalization of data, and the application of analytical conclusions to existing business problems.

And since this program is at Franciscan University, your education will include sound ethical formation grounded in the Catholic social justice tradition. From the classroom, where our professors teach with an eye on Catholic social teaching, to the residence hall, to the athletic field, to the missionary field, every activity prepares our graduates for successful careers and faith-filled lives.

Our bachelor of science in economics provides a business-oriented economics education, preparing graduates actually to enter the workforce.
