The economics major helps students develop an understanding of how individuals, organizations and societies make decisions to achieve their goals. In our introductory courses, students learn the fundamental principles of economics that can help them understand and analyze a wide range of social and policy issues. Our intermediate theory courses take a deeper dive, developing the analytical tools used in understanding individual choice, how markets function, and the determinants of key economic measures such as GDP, employment, and inflation. In addition to theory, our students also learn methods to describe and analyze economic data, allowing them to conduct their own empirical research. As part of the College of Liberal Arts, course work helps students look at economic issues through a variety of lenses, including history, culture, and institutions, allowing them to gain a richer understanding of specific aspects of economic behavior and public policy.
