Economics
Turning Data into Decisions
A degree in economics is a great choice for anyone curious about how the world works and why people, businesses, and governments make the choices they do.
It helps you build practical skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, and working
with data, all while exploring real-life topics such as money, markets, public policy,
and global trade. An economics background opens the door to many different careers,
including finance, business, government, research, and consulting. Whether you enjoy
working with numbers, asking big questions, or finding solutions to everyday problems,
economics offers a flexible and rewarding path with skills that are valuable in almost
any field.
In addition, many economics majors continue on for advanced degrees in business (MBA)
and law.
The AA DTA degree at Highline College will allow you to transfer to a 4-year college or university where you can pursue a bachelor's degree in economics.
