Should You Major or Minor in Economics?
Maybe. UNCA has many majors and each has its own special rewards and challenges,
short and long term. Perhaps the best advice that one can give is to look
carefully at the UNCA Catalog,
browse the departmental
web pages, visit the Career Center,
investigate salaries by major
and occupation (note that this data is dated, but probably still good for
comparison purposes), explore what the Princeton
Review has to say, consider Dr. Bell's views as expressed in a letter to editor of the Blue
Banner, and take courses in a number of different disciplines before
deciding on a major. Having done that, ask yourself "What am I trying to
do?" and "What are my alternatives?" It may well be that
economics is the answer to your questions. If it is, we would welcome the
opportunity to work with you!
