Department of Economics

The Economics faculty are committed to both high-quality undergraduate instruction and scholarship. We offer two programs, the BA in Economics and, in conjunction with the Department of Mathematics, the BS in Mathematical Economics. We are proud of our record (exceptional among liberal arts colleges) in placing our graduates in highly-ranked graduate programs in Economics.
