Welcome to the Department of Economics at Saint Michael's College.
The economics major provides an understanding of economic theory and institutions and prepares the student to apply this knowledge to the analysis of a wide range of economic problems and policies.
Students majoring in economics have a broad range of interests. Some seek training for careers in business or industry; others seek preparation for graduate school in economics, business or law; some simply have an interest in the social sciences and are particularly intrigued by economic problems. The economics program is designed to accommodate this diversity.
