Economics is a social science concerned with analyzing and describing production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services.
Why
Take Economics?
After you finish your A.A., you may wish to go on in your education and
major in economics. With a B.A. in economics, a student can teach at the
secondary level, pursue a graduate degree, or can work in a variety of
fields including editing, finance and government.
The popularity of economics among Oakton students is due to its usefulness as preparation for economic majors, and reflects the intrinsic interest of the discipline. We regularly offer a wide variety of transferable introductory and advanced courses.
The Economics Department invites you to visit with the coordinator of economics, Carl Bauer, who would be happy to discuss the program.
