Economics supplies the answers.
 

Economics is a fascinating subject, poised at the intersections of social science, business, and public policy.  An understanding of economics principles is critical to success in business and to the design of effective government policy.  Economists study how markets work to determine what is produced, how it is produced, and how income is distributed.  Among the many topics studied in economics are the role and impact of international trade, the impact of monopoly on the economy, and the problems of unemployment and inflation. 

Many students are attracted to economics for its blend of quantitative methods, social science subject matter, and policy applications.  Economics is a terrific liberal arts major, as well as excellent preparation for careers in business and government and for further graduate and professional study.  A graduate degree in economics offers a wide variety of career opportunities in both the public and private sectors.

The University of Delaware Economics Department includes 27 full-time faculty who cover the full range of courses and fields in economics.  Our department takes great pride in both our teaching and research accomplishments.  

At the undergraduate level, we offer B.A. and B.S. degrees in Economics and a B.A. in Economic Education.  At the graduate level, we offer M.A., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Economics, a joint MA/MBA, and an M.A. degree in Economics and Entrepreneurship for Educators (MAEEE).
