Get Ready for Your Choice of Fascinating Careers 

Dominican’s economics major is outstanding preparation for rewarding careers in a wide variety of professional settings, including banks, corporations, nonprofit organizations, government agencies and start-up companies. You’ll learn to make rational, evidence-based decisions, to act thoughtfully as a consumer and citizen, and to participate effectively in the global economy. In small classes, you’ll work side-by-side with an outstanding faculty that includes Fulbright scholars, successful authors and top-level corporate leaders. 

Our Brennan School of Business offers two majors in economics: the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree and the Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree. The latter is for students interested in interdisciplinary study or a second major. 

Dominican gave me so many opportunities. The faculty helped me obtain awesome internships with both the U.S. Department of Commerce and MB Financial Bank. Those kinds of great real-world experiences set me up to land a wonderful job right after graduation.”
