Overview

An unknown author once wrote: "Economics is the only field in which two people can get a Nobel Prize for saying exactly the opposite thing."

How can that be? Well, economics is the study of making choices. What resources does an individual, a company or a society use in light of social values and needs. Or in light of the scarcity of resources.

Economics provides a fundamental background for work in business, law, social science, and politics. The Economics program from University of Wisconsin-Parkside develop skills to problem solve and analyze economic phenomena and make proficient economic decisions.

In addition to core principles and theory, the Economics Department teaches a wide range of advanced courses in various sub-fields of economics including industrial organization, international, public, and sports economics, and money and banking.

There are two concentrations offered as well as the General Economics major track.

The monetary and financial economics concentration is designed for students who are interested in professional positions in the financial and banking sectors.

Quantitative Concentration

The quantitative concentration is strongly recommended for students who expect to study economics in graduate school or seek a career using quantitative methods.
