Bachelor of Arts in Economics

at Goucher College

Economics is a universal subject for universally curious students. 

Students learn the skills needed to study shortages and rationing, exchange rates and speculation, inflation and recession, and monopoly and competition, as well as such social and political issues as pollution, energy, airport congestion, mass transit, the delivery of medical care, and even the personal choice of career and lifestyle. Economic theory clarifies and systematizes thinking on these matters, and a liberal arts curriculum trains students in the use of analytical tools.
