Economics
Liberal Arts & Professional Studies
Gain the analytical skills necessary for understanding and solving complex economic problems.
This program is offered by the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies on the Keele Campus.
Economic problems arise out of the conflict between an apparently limitless human demand for goods and services and a limited supply of resources for satisfying those demands. Economics combines theory and analysis with attention to practical problems and critical modern issues.
The Economics program will introduce you to the wide range of individual and social problems that arise from this conflict and to the distinctive economic approach to their solution. Our unique teaching approach that blends theory and case studies to give you the in-depth training necessary to apply the analytical and quantitative tools needed to understand complex economic issues. You can create a mathematical and statistical concentration, focus on learning how to model and forecast economic activities, or get a comprehensive understanding of contemporary economics and/or business.
