Economics

The economics major is a flexible program that offers you a solid foundation in economics and the ability to pursue a variety of related interests. Our students have used this combination to build unique educational experiences, preparing themselves for work and graduate school.

As a student majoring in economics you will develop an understanding of economic theory and have the chance to apply it to practical and real life situations. You will study economic issues of personal interest and our program helps you become comfortable with the tools and analytical techniques necessary to become contributors in the business, professional and civic communities.

You can choose economics courses according to your interests. In addition, our courses often support other majors and programs. The icons indicate how you can cluster courses according to interest.

Unique Courses

The economics program has a number of courses that don't generally show up in an undergraduate curriculum and traditional courses handled in untraditional ways. Here are some examples: History of Economic ThoughtMarine Resource PolicyLeadership, the Human Side of Economics and Natural Resource Economics.
