Economics is about more than money

Economics helps you understand how resources are used.  You learn what happens if taxes go up—or down. You understand why you should, or shouldn’t, relocate a business. And you analyze what it would take (cost, design, or environmental matters) for someone to buy a more expensive car that gets better gas mileage. Studying economics at Butler gives you real-world knowledge that you can transfer to a four-year college.
