The Campbell Program

The economics degree, offered by the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business, is designed to give the student a thorough foundation in the science of economics.  A student with a degree in economics is able to venture confidently into the many areas of business and government.  It is a strong basis for MBA and other graduate programs, Law School, private and public sector jobs.

The economics major allows for many electives and, as a result, has a high degree of flexibility.  This versatility allows many students to have multiple minors and to easily obtain a double major during the four-year stay at Campbell, making them more attractive to future employers.

The Campbell Approach

The Lundy-Fetterman School of Business is proud to uphold a Free Market approach to economics.  One of the country's first endowed chairs dedicated to the free market is Campbell's Burrows T.  and Mabel Lundy Chair of the Philosophy of Business.  The economics program is designed to expose the students to many areas of economic problems.   Flexibility is built into the curriculum. Simply put, students are able to choose many electives and tailor their education to suit their needs.  Campbell University also sets aside money and merit scholarships for all economics majors who qualify with levels of academic achievement.

This program also offers students the option of independent studies, the opportunity of an internship, and selected Web-enhanced courses.  While offered and encouraged by Campbell University, these choices are not necessary for the completion of the degree.

The Campbell Advantage

Most universities and many colleges offer the business administration major.  But Campbell offers you a program that is especially strong and unique, because...

  • You'll enjoy the benefits of a large university economics program within small-classroom settings...
  • You will have a thorough understanding of the free enterprise system...
  • You will have a quality liberal arts education distinguished by the Christian mission of the University...
  • You may select the 3/2 option leading to both the BS and MBA degrees, and...
  • You are exposed to entrepreneurship and practical internships.
Majoring in Economics will prepare you for a prosperous professional career in government and industry and/or further graduate studies with a better understanding of how the economic system works around the world.  It can also give you better decision-making skills for your personal life.
