Program Features That Set You Apart

Through a combination of theoretical models and empirical skills, professional economists are uniquely equipped to evaluate public programs and business strategies, study and understand human behavior and markets, and offer effective solutions to policy makers, businesses, and households.

Many degree programs teach quantitative skills and provide experience working with data. Training in economics helps you to simplify complex, real-world issues, which makes it more feasible to identify solutions. The work is further grounded in assumptions about human behavior. This helps us ask the right questions, and understand the important tradeoffs. Economics also focuses on drawing causal inferences from data, rather than just uncovering correlations and associations.
