OBJECTIVES OF THE UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM IN ECONOMICS
The
Undergraduate Program in Economics at Howard University
seeks to provide our students with a clear understanding
of the basic principles of economic theory and policy,
and to train them in the utilization of mathematics, statistics
and modern technology as tools of economic analysis. It
is also designed to provide our economics majors with some
basic knowledge in a selected number of specialized fields,
such as labor economics, urban economics, monetary economics
(money and banking), and international economics, and with
the training they need for more advanced work in the economics
discipline.
