What You’ll Learn
Economics is more than money. It’s about incentives and human choice.
Economics is a powerful lens to understand how choices fit together into patterns, both good and bad, that no one intended.

Curriculum
Our economics program is strongly rooted in both critical thinking and practical analytical skills.
From small questions (what’s an effective way to organize a fishery?) to big questions (why did the Soviet Union fail?) to oddball questions (why don’t chimps have language?) learn the intricacies of economics.
You’ll come away with both the rigorous concepts that help make sense of the world and the tools that help quantify it.
