Economic Consulting

Kelley’s Business Economics and Public Policy program prepares students to become more effective managers by providing them with an understanding of how firms make optimal strategic decisions at the regional, national, and international level. Students learn high-level reasoning skills through rigorous policy and market analysis. Students are trained to recognize how their firm’s actions will elicit reactions from different entities and how to identify a firm’s best course of action in light of these expected reactions. 

Consider a Co-Major to gain additional skills in a specialized area. Kelley Co-Majors include:

  • Business Analytics
  • International Business
  • Law, Ethics and Decision-Making (LEAD)
  • Sustainable Business
  • Technology Management
