As a secondary field, developing an expertise in economics provides students with a valuable skill that can be used in conjunction with business and liberal arts disciplines. Bryant’s concentration in economics stress the interdisciplinary implications of economics. Analytical techniques encouraging critical thinking are used in conjunction with economic theory to interpret a plethora of economic events. Economics concentration is of particular interest for those students who plan to complement their chosen concentration in one of the areas in business and other liberal arts disciplines. The option of double concentration will not require taking extra courses.

A minor in economics provides both business and liberal arts majors with the opportunity to expand their academic preparation by developing expertise in economics as a complementary "secondary field."
