The Department of Economics offers BA, BS, MA, and PhD degrees and an undergraduate minor in economics.

The BA and the minor provide undergraduates with comprehensive exposure to the principles and tools of economics. BS degrees with specializations in economic analysis, financial economics, and economic policy analysis offer more focused curricula for undergraduates planning advanced study or careers in economics, financial analysis, or government.

The department's graduate program offers specializations in econometrics, environmental economics, labor economics, and public economics under the supervision of nationally recognized scholars on its faculty, and in economics and finance in cooperation with the School of Management. Recipients of MA and PhD degrees pursue a wide variety of careers in higher education, economic forecasting, research, and policy analysis.

The department is home to 18 regular and 3 visiting faculty. We offer approximately 60 undergraduate courses annually to about 600 majors and hundreds of non-majors. We also have nearly 60 graduate students in residence.
