Economics is the study of how societies deal with scarcity. Limited natural resources means decisions must be made about how to use those resources. Microeconomics examines decisions made by individual households and firms while macroeconomics studies issues related to trying to coordinate all of the individual activities.

General Requirements
Admission to Vassar is highly selective. Although we weigh a number of factors in the admission decision, the most important is academic ability, as demonstrated by performance in high school. We also consider personal strengths, motivation, and potential as evidenced in essays, recommendations, and out-of-class involvements. Standardized test scores are also reviewed, as an indicator of academic aptitude.While we do not prescribe a specific secondary school program, we expect applicants to have elected the most demanding courses available. Therefore, we recommend students elect four years of English, Mathematics, Laboratory Science, History or Social Science, and Foreign Language.
