What Our Students Do After GraduationOur graduates have used their degrees in economics to embark on a great variety of career paths. An abbreviated list includes:
As the list above demonstrates, economics graduates work in many fields, including the financial services industry, banking, education and manufacturing, as well as state, local and federal government. In fact, any job in which the questions "What are we trying to do?" and "What are our alternatives?" arise, is a job in which an economics graduate has much to offer. The critical thinking and analytical skills that economics helps develop provide good preparation for some types of graduate study. The Department has an excellent relationship with the Department of Economics at UNCG, where our students routinely work toward a Masters of Economics; by some ratings UNCG has the second best Master’s of Economics program in the United States. In addition our graduates not infrequently follow their UNCA studies with law school, work toward a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) degree or doctoral studies in Economics. Schools at which our graduates have earned doctorates in economics include the North Carolina State University and the University of Washington. Please see preparing for life after graduation for practical advice on how best to position yourself for a smooth transition from your studies at UNCA. The advice includes timetables for both students planning to go straight to the job market and for those planning to attend graduate or professional school first. The EconInfo economics and finance information page contains links to a number of additional resources useful to students thinking beyond graduation.
