Professorial experience covers years of business ownership and management, government and university research, Extension Service, commercial farming and civil and military service. All majors within the department are assigned a faculty adviser who works one on one with the student to ensure that required courses are taken and progress is made toward a degree. Faculty advisers provide a vital link for the student in the educational process. Besides monitoring academic progress, advisers provide guidance and recommendations for scholarships, jobs and graduate schools. The Economics Department is housed in Scobey Hall on the west end of campus.
Students have access to the laboratory outside of class as well.
Student Organizations Department-sponsored student organizations provide ample opportunity for students to participate in extracurricular activities which offer social benefits and strengthen leadership skills. The Economics Club, one of the largest sponsored clubs on campus, offers guest speakers who discuss career possibilities and provides an insight into different industries. Additionally, the club schedules annual trips to visit facilities such as the Federal Reserve and commodities exchanges.
