Economics
Economics bridges the gap between finance and social science. Economics majors learn the theory, history and policies that govern how markets work so they can understand how to achieve financial success for themselves or their clients, or advance monetary policies that help all of us.
Kean economics majors learn how to anticipate and analyze trends in energy, inflation, interest rates, taxation and employment. They develop economic forecasts and create their own investment portfolios.
Kean economics graduates are prepared to pursue further study in graduate school or to launch successful careers right away nearby in the financial hub of New York City or beyond.

Professor Nidi Thakur, Ph.D., instructs her class on the comparative analysis of economic systems.
