Discussion:
In the concentration in monetary economics and finance you
will be introduced to a wide variety of economic concepts and you will learn to
apply these concepts in ways that will help you better understand
the workings of financial markets and institutions, monetary and fiscal
policies,
and government finance. Because it shares a common core with the other
concentrations in economics, it offers a program of study consistent with many career
objectives, be they graduate study in economics, law or MBA programs, and/or
employment in a financial market or institution. As described above, students in the
concentration in
monetary economics and finance are required to take 34 hours of courses
in the major and 7 hours outside it. Of the 34 hours in the major, none are
elective, but enough flexibility is built in to the set of courses that can be
used to satisfy the requirements to allow you to design a course of study that
best meets your interests and needs. Keep in
mind that every course is not offered every semester. See an economics faculty member
to confirm that the courses you'd like to take are offered the semesters you'd
like to take them.
To learn how other students have successfully navigated their way through the
Concentration in Monetary Economics and Finance's required and elective courses,
see an economics faculty member.
