BACKGROUND NOTE
Work in general
economics dates back to the beginning of instructional work at South
Dakota State College, when it was taught under the name of political
economy. Later, it was taught with history and philosophy, but finally
achieved full independence when, in 1921, the Department of Farm
Economics was created as a separate department. Development in this
department consisted mainly of teaching, research and extension. Over
the years, the Economics Department has established itself as a pioneer
in the scientific study of the economic problems of South Dakota.
According to the
1996-1998 Undergraduate Bulletin, the Economics Department trains
students to apply economic concepts and techniques for decision-making
in fields such as agricultural business, agricultural economics,
economics and business. The objectives of the curricula taught in the
department are to present the general economic principles necessary to
understand the complexities of the economic business world and provide a
foundation for graduate work in economics, agricultural economics,
business administration, management, finance, law and other related
areas of study.
The Economics
Department offers majors leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in
either agricultural business or agricultural economics from the College
of Agriculture and Biological Sciences. The department also offers a
major in economics leading to a Bachelor of Science degree from the
College of Arts and Science. Within the economics major, a student can
choose an option in business economics. Minors are also available
through the department in accounting, agricultural business,
agricultural marketing and economics. The programs provide students
with a background to pursue careers in farm and ranch management,
agricultural finance, agribusiness, banking, business finance, business
management, sales and marketing, government service and related fields.
