Economics degrees and programs

Economics at the Βι¶ΉΣ³»­ is an “idea place,” and seeks to become an increasingly creative and valuable resource as it conducts teaching, research, and service activities. Current students are encouraged to get regular advising, participate in the Economics club to become more connected with the faculty and other students, and to learn more about the variety of doors further opened with economics training.

We offer economics minors and majors, along with master's degree and doctoral degree programs.
