Welcome to the Department
of Economics!
The discipline of economics studies the ways
in which people make choices as they assume the various
roles of consumer, worker, small business owner, business
or non-profit manager, investor, government policymaker,
and the like. The manner in which the economy is organized
determines the opportunities available to individuals for
achieving their goals in a wide variety of areas, and it
is one of the key factors affecting the quality of life
in any society. Recently, with the increasing reliance
upon free market economic principles at home and around
the globe, students across the country have demonstrated
a renewed interest in the study of economics. The background
they acquire will serve them well whether they are preparing
for careers in business, government or the non-profit sector,
or plan to enter graduate school or law school.
