The study of economics provides a strong foundation for careers in business, government, law, teaching, and research and for graduate studies. Working closely with faculty in small classes, economics students explore the timely issues of today's global economy. Core courses build a strong foundation in both economic theory and analytical skills. Elective courses in areas such as international trade, environmental economics, and development economics offer additional insights into cross-cutting issues, such as global warming, the opportunities and risks of globalization, and the developing economies of the future. The department also maintains a unique focus on social justice, poverty and inequality, and cross-cultural examination of social systems, which allows us to make policy recommendations to help people locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally. Faculty expertise has led to the creation of significant service-learning and social-justice programs, such as the Center for Holistic Microcredit that empowers soon-to-be-released ex-offenders by providing them with business planning and development. Economics offers many tools that can be applied locally, regionally, and globally to the challenges of the modern world.
