Business Administration, BBA, Economics Concentration
In the spring semester of my first year, I took Principles of Microeconomics with Robin Henager, and that changed everything for me. Robin, who is also my advisor, was able to show that with economics alone, I could work with people and understand what motivates them to make many of their financial decisions. Economics is a social science that seeks to understand how individuals and businesses make choices about allocating their resources. In many ways, it feels like the psychology of the business world, which I've really enjoyed.
