Contact the Department Chair for information about the Economics Program. All Lower Division program advisement is through the College SSC/EOP in Juniper Hall (JH) 2113.

For many, the Economics major provides a useful background for a business career, while for others the major is preparation for graduate study in law, economics or public policy. Economics is relevant for students interested in employment in politics and public policy analysis, the financial services sector (banking, insurance), as industry analysts (healthcare, entertainment, energy), consumer affairs, international affairs, teaching and research, law, business consulting, government work and journalism. Salaries earned by economics majors nationwide are highly competitive. Employers rank economics as one of the most desirable majors.

The Business Honors program is open to Economics majors who meet all Honors Program admission criteria. Students who successfully complete the program earn a special Honors designation on their final graduation transcript. For more information, call (818) 677-3100 or visit http://www.csun.edu/bhp/.
