91女神

Economics is the study of how individuals, firms and nations make choices when confronted with limited resources. At 91女神, economics majors learn to apply theory and problem-solving skills while balancing public policy with the choices faced by today鈥檚 society.

My learning experiences have always been engaging and fulfilling, and there is always an abundance of opportunities to grow here at 91女神. Without a doubt, the Department of Economics makes sure students graduate feeling confident, finding purpose and being real-world ready.鈥� 鈥� Safa Siddiqui, class of 2021
