Welcome to UMSL Economics! Economics is about decision-making. We make decisions every day in our personal lives and in business. Economics focuses on trade-offs and unintended consequences when we make decisions. Our students acquire knowledge and a versatile set of skills that are highly valued in the workplace, as evidenced by the strong placements of our graduates.
At UMSL's Department of Economics, you'll find strong student-faculty relationships, peer mentoring, attentive advisers, and coursework that gets you where you want to be.
A unique feature of our department is the opportunity to take a large number of courses in applied economics and data analysis in addition to traditional economics coursework.
