A degree in economics can be a bridge to all kinds of careers and advanced degrees, from financial forecasting and consulting to international development. Whether undergraduate students choose to major or minor in economics, or pursue one of our combined degree options, they each have access to the department’s dedicated advising support and internship and research opportunities. Our engaged faculty have helped make economics one of the Columbian College’s most popular undergraduate programs.
