ECONOMICS, PH.D.
The doctoral program in economics offers a firm grounding in the theory and tools of economics as well as in a variety of fields of specialization. Facilities within the department include faculty and student offices, a library of core materials, and a computer center.

ECONOMICS, M.S.
There are two M.S. in Economics Named Option degrees. The M.S. Named Option in Graduate Foundations is a terminal master's degree that students apply to directly. The other M.S. Named Option Economics degree is part of the Ph.D. program and does not admit students directly.

ECONOMICS, B.A.
A major in economics gives students a greater understanding of how people, businesses, and governments respond to their economic environments. Many of the issues that fill the newspapers—jobs, wages, taxes, the cost of living, inequality, pollution, poverty, and economic growth—are, in fundamental ways, economic issues.
