Economics is more than just an academic discipline; it is the cornerstone of how we understand the world. With a strong emphasis on critical thinking, quantitative analysis and effective communication, the study of economics positions you for abundant post-graduation options, from advanced degrees and professional programs to career paths in a range of diverse fields.
The economics curriculum gives you the opportunity to tackle important subjects and address real-world challenges. In addition to exploring complex issues such as market structures, international trade and monetary systems, you will also accumulate software skills, enjoy access to Bloomberg terminals, and experience several outlets for collaborative learning. Students in the DePauw economics program have completed successful internships, pursued independent and faculty-led research projects, and participated in national and regional case competitions.
