style=\"text-align: center\">The <span class=\"heavy-man\">Economics<\/span> program provides students with preparation in economic concepts and techniques within a liberal arts environment, offering a major, minor and, jointly with the Business program, a Certificate in Applied Finance and Economics (CAFE). The\u00a0Economic program&#8217;s broad range of perspectives provides benefits to various programs as well as to its own students. The program is nationally recognized for the quality of faculty scholarship and for the heterodox character of its curriculum, which allows examination of issues from a variety of perspectives. Its\u00a0strong interdisciplinary direction allows it to link well with other majors, such as Healthcare Administration, International Studies, Latin American Studies, Gender Sexuality and Women&#8217;s Studies, Environmental Studies, the Honors Program, and Business. Faculty are engaged in regional economics projects and students are involved in community-based learning endeavors through well-established placements. International exchange is supported\u00a0for\u00a0faculty\u00a0and\u00a0students\u00a0alike.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Check out the SOU Economics Program student testimonial video <a
