Economics AA

Transfer Degree Description

If money makes the world go round, people who understand financial markets and can interpret their movements possess skills and abilities that will never lose value. If learning about economic trends and patterns sounds interesting to you, an associate program in Economics will help you broaden your knowledge base and learn how to analyze economic data. Given that there are financial aspects to nearly every field, an Economics degree can lead to a career in business, law, finance, public policy, and international relations. Potential roles include market analyst, investment banker, financial planner, and risk manager. There are also opportunities in the public sector, such as budget director of a government agency or chief financial officer for a nonprofit organization.

In an associate program in Economics, you will explore microeconomics and macroeconomics. This degree is transferable to universities offering a bachelor’s degree in Economics.

Students should work closely with their Otero advisor and contact their transfer institution choices for more specific transfer information.
