Economics is concerned with how societies provide for the well-being of their citizens and residents, along with public policies to promote well-being.
Economics courses address a range of current issues, such as:
- What are the impacts of carbon taxes?
- How can health care be efficiently and equitably provided?
- Should water be privatized?
- What is the best portfolio choice to maximize my investment?
Faculty members in the Department of Economics are excellent teachers who are committed to providing students with an active and inclusive learning environment while developing their knowledge of contemporary issues and their practical thinking skills.
