Overview

The hands-on approach of the Economics program of Worcester Polytechnic Institute means you’ll be exposed to the full range of theoretical and methodological approaches to economics. You’ll even build computer models simulating economic systems that aid policy analysis.

Key facts

Working closely and in collaboration with expert faculty in WPI’s Experimental Economics Lab students have space and equipment to conduct their own computerized economics experiments that can lead to innovative breakthroughs at the intersection of science and society.

Hands-on, project-based learning is the cornerstone of the WPI experience, and a big reason why you’ll stand out to employers. As an economics major, your options might include supporting faculty research, conducting projects off-campus in the U.S. or abroad, and finding your niche.
