Message from the Chair

The Department of Economics offers an ideal student-to-professor ratio and intense, hands-on learning experiences. Many upper-division economics classes include experiments and simulations as well as collaborative learning exercises. In addition, students in almost all upper-division courses will be responsible for significant research paper assignments. Students have worked with faculty on these research papers to prepare them for the Southern California Conference on Undergraduate Research (SCCUR) held in the fall of each year. A recent senior had her SCCUR paper accepted for presentation at the annual conference of the Southwest Economics Association and received an award for contributing one of the best student papers.
