Required courses include microeconomics and macroeconomics, a senior seminar in applied economics and five additional economics electives chosen from a variety of fields. Supporting courses in calculus and statistics prepare you for the quantitative nature of economics.

In order to prepare you for work in our global society, you will also complete a language requirement. You may satisfy the requirement by taking a proficiency examination, completing an intermediate-level language course or participating in an approved education abroad experience.

You don’t have to wait until after graduation to put your knowledge of economics to use. By participating in the internship program, you will have the opportunity to gain real-world experience and valuable preparation for your career. Both paid and unpaid internships are available.
