ECON professor smiling

Welcome to the Department of Economics

Economics equips students with the tools to understand how people, businesses, and governments make decisions and how those choices shape markets and society. Our major combines theory, data analysis, and real-world applications to prepare students for careers in business, finance, politics, public policy, and beyond, as well as for graduate study at top universities.
