Economics Curriculum and the College Student:

    The flexible nature of Economics, and the fact that it overlaps with diverse areas such as Business, Law, Politics, Health Care, and the Environment, makes Economics a dynamic and marketable area of study. Today's educators, government officials, and business leaders are aware of the crucial role economics plays in building of a more productive and equitable world. Economists are at the center of power all over the world. Within the last few decades, the economist has become a central figure helping corporations reach their goals. The economist can be found advising governments on urban problems, unemployment, inflation, and financial markets. Recently, economics has been introduced into the k-12 curricula creating a higher demand for economics graduates who wish to teach at all levels.

    The Department of Economics at Millersville University is a growing department, able to offer students a range of courses to fit their needs, prepare them to pursue further studies, or to enter a variety of careers. Many of the department's graduates occupy important positions in the regional economy and school systems. The Millersville economics students receive personalized instruction in the classroom, individualized counsel outside of class, opportunities for hands-on experience, and counsel in career pursuits.
