Economics

专业详情

Our department helps prepare students for success. Our courses develop the critical and analytical skills essential for understanding economics and institutions, in both their contemporary and historical settings. These courses provide the academic background necessary for positions in industry, for work in many branches of government service, for law school, and for graduate study in business administration, economics, and the social sciences.

Why Study Economics?

At its core, economics is the study of resource management and allocation, but it is also a way of understanding the world and human behavior. At Duke Economics, we believe that our undergraduates should first and foremost view their education as an opportunity to further their thinking in as broad a range of fields as possible, and beyond their immediate career interests. Our department offers a liberal arts curriculum that prepares students for success not only in school but also everyday life.
