"Economics requires an analytical skill set and understanding of human behavior applicable to nearly any field in public- or private-sector work. Studying economics develops the quantitative reasoning and intuition necessary to become a key problem solver for businesses or government organizations. Economics curricula provide the theoretical knowledge necessary to make strong normative arguments, and my economics classes at ������ prepared me as both a practitioner of data analysis and savvy consumer of research."

"What I like most about economics is the fact that everything does not have a straightforward answer. Although there are formulas, much of the time is spent on the how, what and why of solving a problem. That’s what sets economics majors apart from those who rely solely on formulas or outcomes to tell the bigger story."

"The professional selling class helped me prepare for the sales internship and pushed me to keep going. I got my real estate license in December of 2020 after an internship with a commercial real estate broker, making me a full-time agent and full-time student. In 2021, I sold over $3.5M and more than fifteen homes in addition to making plans to list three homes in the same week I was to graduate from ������."

"Economics by definition is often times associated with business concerning the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services but that definition doesn't do enough justice to the impact it has. More informally, Economics is a social science that analyzes societies as a whole and the actions or choices that the various agents make within said society. Economics taught me to be a critical thinker, but more importantly, a critical thinker that can understand context and nuance."

"An economics major provides the framework to build a career in any quantitative field. The entire program constantly asks you to not just question “why?” but to review all aspects of a given issue and apply data backed analysis to answer real life questions. Every day as a financial analyst involves being presented with a business problem and asks how to solve it through quantitative reasoning. In any job, it is imperative to understand what incentivizes and motivates coworkers and to understand their thinking.

"A degree in entrepreneurship was extremely important to my success. It taught me how to be a savvy generalist in business, which allowed me to work across our entire organization rather than in a particular silo. The salesmanship, public speaking and problem solving skills I learned as an entrepreneurship major were, and still are, critical to my success."

"The Entrepreneurship program at Kent State is really outstanding because of how hands-on the classes are. I would’ve never been so confident in my abilities to run a business in the ‘real world’ without it!” 

"������ made a profound impact on my life while I attended. As an alum, it has been a phenomenal pleasure to be a part of the Sales Program since its inception. I have gained both personally and professionally from this involvement. The impact, knowledge and skillset this program is giving to the students in the world of Professional Sales are assets these students will be able to utilize for the rest of their lives.

"I love to hire Kent State Univeristy sales students because I know that they are dedicated and hardworking. As a former Golden Flash, I understand the preparation and dedication the professors and advisors put into each student to prepare them for their careers. When I bring on a student from Kent State, specifically in sales, I know they are going to be a great addition to our team. What the faculty does for the students in the College of Business is unmatched and it makes the students better prepared for their post graduate careers than most.”
