The concentration in financial economics provides students with the opportunity to analyze financial markets in the context of domestic and international economic concerns.

At CHU, we see economics as a tool for social justice. Through seminars and internships, you develop skills to tackle real-world problems ranging from poverty to gender inequality to environmental pollution. You’ll graduate prepared to use your economics training to make a positive impact in underserved communities both at home and abroad.
