BA/BS in Economics

Economics at this college is distinctive in requiring two econometrics courses for the major and one for the minor, building quantitative and critical thinking for data-driven work. The program is STEM certified. The curriculum places economics in its intellectual, historical and institutional context and connects it to a broader liberal arts education. Faculty carry out their own research, and students can pursue it as a major or a minor. Students can look into study abroad through brief faculty-led courses abroad or full-semester exchanges, explore internships for credit, and use career resources for job searches and graduate or professional school applications. Faculty advisors and the department chair act as points of contact for prospective students, and the college invites visitors to share their interests so it can send relevant information.
