Students can design their economics major to fit their specific interests and future plans. While the Department does not offer major concentrations, students are encouraged to use this as a guide for selecting major courses.

Please see economics courses grouped by career focus and courses grouped by area of interest. Course descriptions can be found in the online Undergraduate Catalog.

Students interested in pursuing a graduate degree in economics are encouraged to start that conversation with an advisor as early as possible and learn more about the Master’s of Science in Quantitative Economics offered at UConn.
