Students have access to the Chippewa Valley Center for Economic Education and Research, which provides short courses and instructional materials and facilitates local research activities of students and faculty. The department sponsors a tutoring program in which upper-level economics majors tutor students who are in beginning economics courses. During the year prior to graduation, each student completes a capstone project, which draws theory, practice and policy. The capstone experience also develops information useful in making career choices. Unlike many other public universities, classes are not taught by teaching assistants.
Students work alongside dedicated professors who inspire learning.
Small classes, individual attention. The economics department accepts advanced placement credit for microeconomics and macroeconomics with a minimum score of three.
