Undergraduate Economics

Economics majors find great and high paying jobs, and they can tell you why…

Economics majors know that prices of all types—including wages—are set by the forces of demand and supply.

Economics is a top-paying major for jobs after college because employers value the skills you’ll learn in the program (this is what we mean by demand) and it’s a rigorous degree that requires you to step up your game (this is what we mean by supply).
