An economics major provides the opportunity to acquire ideas and thinking skills that will enrich one’s life. Moreover, an economics major offers a solid foundation for careers in business and government and excellent preparation for graduate professional schools such as MBA programs, law schools and International Relations programs. In combination with a minor in mathematics, the economics major also provides fine preparation for strong PH.D. programs in economics.

The Rollins economics program is distinctive for its breadth of course offerings, small class sizes (most of them 15-20 students), and an emphasis on student learning. In addition to a strong standard economics core and numerous electives, other strengths of the Rollins economics program and faculty include the importance placed on active learning, the encouragement of critical and independent thinking, and a commitment to understanding alternative economic and cross-disciplinary perspectives.
