“I wish I would have learned this in school.”
We prepare students to become active citizens and productive members of our economy by providing them with the ability to make sound economic decisions.
Students will be required throughout their lives to make economics decisions important for their own well-being, and to understand and make decisions about public policy issues. A thorough understanding of economics will contribute not only to their personal success, but also to the successes of the businesses, institutions, and governments in which they participate.
