Program details

Overview

The Department of Economics at Bates College asks how households, businesses and governments reach their decisions, with attention to markets, inequality and environmental sustainability. The program aims to build careful scholarship and informed citizenship. Students learn to apply micro- and macroeconomic models, use statistical and econometric methods to test hypotheses, and connect theory to problems in areas such as health, development, financial crises and social justice. The major ends with a senior thesis in which each student develops an original research question, finds relevant data and carries out a professional-quality study. Many majors go on to graduate study, including MBA and Ph.D. programs, and others join firms, research institutes and government agencies. Courses in the department develop clear writing and speaking about complex economic arguments.
