经济学文学学士

经济学研究社会如何利用稀缺资源来生产有价值的商品，以供在不同的人之间分配，人们如何利用资源并对激励做出反应，以及个人和群体如何做出决定。经济学可以帮助我们了解历史趋势，解释当代问题并做出对未来的预测。在达特茅斯，经济学专业的学生学习金融，国际经济学，宏观经济学，竞争与战略，劳动经济学，发展经济学和公共经济学等课程。教职员工共同努力使用经济学的工具和学科来理解紧迫的社会问题。向在达特茅斯经济系上课的学生介绍了一种独特的提问和检查问题的方式，因此，他们以博雅艺术的最佳传统发展了自己的分析思维能力。
When you take courses in Dartmouth's Economics Department, you'll be introduced to a unique way of asking questions and examining problems. Economics is really about learning analytical thinking in the best tradition of the liberal arts. In addition to the standard major, the economics minor and the modified major are intended to fit the needs of students who have an interest in economics but are primarily interested in another discipline or, in the case of a modified major, wish to study some specific problem or topic that falls partly in the field of economics and partly in a related field. Our curriculum focuses on current and important social problems. The world is constantly confronted with public policy issues that are essentially economic in character. Economic analysis provides a coherent and principled framework for examining these issues and understanding the tradeoffs involved in attempting to solve social problems. The Economics Major has a CIP (Classification of Instructional Programs) code by the National Center of Education at the Department of Education of 45.0603, which has the STEM designation. The STEM designation allows international students to apply for a 2 year STEM extension of F-1 Optional Practical Training (OPT) beyond the standard 12 months of OPT for non-STEM designated degrees.
