About the course

Economics at Tufts requires savvy, technical expertise, and curiosity about the way the world works. Although the tools economists employ are quantitative and sometimes abstract, the questions are grounded in lived experience ? what impact will changes in oil prices or fluctuations in the housing market have on consumer behavior in the United States, for example.The study of economics is about building models of behavior, testing those models against empirical evidence, and then modifying or extending them when they fail. Training in economics provides a solid background for many career paths ? from employment immediately after graduation to postgraduate study. It is particularly appropriate for those with interests in business, finance, law, or public policy. Economics is one of the most popular undergraduate majors at Tufts.
