Economics Transfer Major
Program Description: Economics has something for everyone. It is among the most applied, most quantitative, and most scientific of all the social sciences, and at the same time the most theoretical business subject. It draws on history, political science, philosophy, sociology, and mathematics, and has something to say about about a list of topics ranging from household spending to inflation to crime to environmental issues.
Iowa Central's economics curriculum combines general education coursework in the social sciences, the humanities, mathematics, and the natural sciences, with business courses directly related to the field. The curriculum provides a broad perspective of economic issues, methods of economic analysis, and research techniques. Skills of analysis also provide a means to study related areas in other Social Science and Business disciplines. Students interested in majoring in Economics can complete their first two years of coursework at Iowa Central and then transfer to a public or private college for the remaining two years.
