Welcome to Economics

We offer a rigorous academic environment where students explore how economics shapes the world. Our programs include two bachelor’s degrees—Economics (BA) and Econometrics and Quantitative Economics (BS)—as well as Master’s and PhD degrees. Graduates are prepared for impactful careers in academia, business, government, and beyond, supported by a community focused on research, innovation, and success.

From shaping public policy to driving business strategy and advancing research, economics leads to a world of career opportunities. In this short video produced by the American Economic Association, four professionals share how they use economics to solve real-world problems—and why it was the right path for them.
