economics degree

Market studies credential

An economics degree is a university qualification in the study of how societies allocate scarce resources—production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services.

She parlayed her economics degree into a career in finance.

Often valued for its analytical rigor, an economics degree leads to careers in banking, policy, consulting, and academia, though graduates frequently end up in fields with no obvious connection to the discipline.
