Undergraduate Programs

The science of efficient allocation, economics has much to offer students in the way of general and specialized preparation for positions in business, as well as government and the academic profession. You may not know it, but we use economics every day. Economics is the science of decision making and how to create value through trade. Since we make decisions and trade daily, we all use economics – all the time.

Student Testimonial

From day one at UW, I loved my economics courses. The professors used real-world and pop culture references to explain complex concepts, and by the end of my first semester, I knew I wanted to add economics as a major. Every course has pushed me to grow — not just in my knowledge of economics, but in how deeply I understand it. There's so many opportunities for undergraduate students to get plugged in and build a community for themselves within the department.
