Undergraduate Program Highlights: 

• We offer traditional, honors, accelerated, and online bachelor’s degree programs so you can choose the path that is right for you.  
• The Economics major includes a solid foundation in economic analysis, as well as the opportunity to specialize in an area of economics (quantitative, development, environmental, public policy, or race/class/gender). 
• Our students are required to choose a second major or minor, giving you the flexibility to tailor your education to your unique interests and goals. Popular secondary programs include business, statistics, and other social sciences.  

• Economics is a versatile major that can be a gateway to many career paths in government, finance, nonprofit organizations, law, academia, and much more. Our students develop a framework for thinking analytically, and they also get the data and communication skills needed to be successful in the workplace. Early career salary of economics majors nationally is $56,700 – higher than business and most other majors in the College of Liberal Arts.  
• Beginning in Fall 2021, undergraduates will be able to apply for paid Research Assistantships/Internships, providing opportunities to deepen their research skillsets and collaborate with our award-winning faculty. Every senior also develops an independent research project as part of the capstone course (ECON 492).
