Economics Description: One of the largest forces affecting everyone's decision-making is the flow of money between individuals, groups, and nations. The Economics degree examines the properties of money and its effects, while helping to build the charisma, logic, and research & debate skills.
Available at School: Foxbury
Requirements: Being accepted into one of the two schools for a distinguished degree in economics is not guaranteed, but having the following skills and factors in your favor will make it more likely. You begin with a 5/20 chance. This is multiplied by:
| Factor | Skill Level? | Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| High School | "A" Student | 2x |
| High School | "B" Student | Flat, no gain or loss |
| High School | "C" to "F" Student | From 0.5 (C) to 0.25 multiplier to score with D-F. |
| Charisma | 2-3 | x2 |
| Logic | 2-3 | x2 |
| Research and Debate | 2-3 | x2 |
| Charisma | 4-6 | x4 |
| Logic | 4-6 | x4 |
| Research and Debate | 4-6 | x4 |
| Charisma | 7-10 | x8 |
| Logic | 7-10 | x8 |
| Research and Debate | 7-10 | x8 |
Additionally, Sims can flaunt fame for a x2 multiplier (but will have it dropped to 0.25 on failure). Sims who donate can also see a big multiplier of x16, but a failure there is the worst of the bunch (0.125). Having a multiplier less than 1 is dropping the score a lot.
Ultimately, your final score will determine if you are accepted in to a distinguised program. There is a non-distinguished version of every degree in Discover University. If you fail to get into a distinguished program, you can take the regular version at the other school. There are caveats, so see the degrees guide for more detailed information. It also explains the difference between with and without honors.
A degree in Economics will have to start higher in the following careers. You'll also receive a signing bonus.
