The Economics Concentration in the Bachelor of Science in Business has been discontinued and is no longer accepting new students.
Why Study Economics?
Economics analyzes the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services— interactions at the core of societal function and global relationships. Economics are not only fundamental to governmental structure at every level, they are applicable to human behavior and interaction within communities. Studying economics will prepare you to ask big questions at both macro- and micro-economic levels, and apply the answers to jobs in business, nonprofit, government, politics, international development, and other fields.
Economics Internships
To earn a business degree with a concentration in economics, you’ll complete a 150-hour minimum internship in a professional setting. North Park interns have worked at places that include the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Covenant Trust Company, North River Commission, the City of Evanston, and Starting Up Now.
Graduate Schools
North Park graduates of the economics program have gone on to graduate school across the country, including at Columbia University, Harvard University, New York University, Northern Illinois University, the University of Chicago, and graduate programs in North Park’s School of Business and Nonprofit Management.
