Detroit Mercy's Economics faculty have significant academic as well as practical experiences in the world of finance, economics and business. Specific areas of expertise include international and development economics, financial institutions and public policy and economic theory.

The Financial Economics major provides the student with the foundation for a career within the fields of investment banking, asset management, commercial banking, consulting and management in financial institutions.  Inside the financial functions in manufacturing or service industries, and in various levels of government or non-profit organizations, students will be well prepared to provide corporate financial management services.

The degree also helps students prepare for careers in either the legal profession or in the rapidly emerging international sector of financial markets as well as provides students with a well-sorted training for further education in the fields of Financial Economics.

The degree targets one of the fastest growing employment sectors in the economy. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, the "overall employment of financial analysts and personal financial advisors is expected to increase faster than average for any occupations through 2014, resulting from increased investments by businesses and individuals." Globalization of the securities markets and deregulation of the financial services industry will also increase the demand for financial analysts and personal financial advisors.
