Economics major
"An economics degree from Fairfield University provides the conceptual and analytical skills to make educated decisions in the future. It becomes a way of life, not just a concentration in college, and I often find myself applying concepts I've learned to my everyday life. Overall, economics provides the ultimate flexibility when it comes to job opportunity, because having a key understanding of U.S. and foreign economics makes you a valuable asset to your employer. My advice? If you like business and want the consideration of the social aspects that influence it, this is the degree to get."
 Blake Petty
Economics major
"Economics appeals to me. In finance, you're just looking at numbers, but in economics you're examining the social science aspect, looking at causes for why things happen, for example. One interesting course I took, The Economics of Sports, we talked about sports and the economics involved, such as where to locate the stadium, beginning a franchise, players' salaries and caps. The classes are small and the professors get their students involved, and we've had some great debates because of it."
