Whether your concern is preparation for a career, intellectual curiosity, or political change, economics has something to offer you. Most economics courses use little advanced math. Some don't use math at all.
Economic analysis is often common sense.
Our department emphasizes a broad, policy oriented, liberal arts approach to the study of economics, one which appeals to students of many different backgrounds and interests. It will help you become a better citizen and a more rigorous thinker as well as advancing your career goals. Many of our faculty have won teaching and advising awards and have published extensively in their fields of expertise. The Undergraduate Handbook, which you can access from this Web site, describes the faculty, the courses, the requirements, and many of the other features of our Department such as the Economics Club.
