Department of Economics
Welcome to the Department of Economics!
The Department of Economics is committed to excellence; training students to meet the economic challenges of the future in a wide variety of careers.
The Department strives to achieve three basic objectives:
- to provide a sound grasp of the tools of economic analysis and measurement;
- to provide an understanding of institutional development and the interrelation of economic social factors;
- and to develop students ability to apply systematic analysis and understanding to decision making in the private and public sector.
Each of our economic faculty members have served as practicing economists with public agencies or private firms, and thus bring to their teaching a rich background of practical experience analyzing policy issues and problems. This faculty experience, combined with small classes and close relationships to the North Bay economic communty, create a unique learning environment for students.
