Wittenberg's Economics Department teaches analytical thinking as a way to investigate the use of scarce resources to satisfy human needs. A solid foundation in core economic theory is supplemented by application in such areas as money and banking, international trade, the role of government in the economy, economic history and labor economics. An increasing level of mathematical skill is required as you move through the major.

Classroom instruction on economic decision-making is matched with internship and study abroad options. Our majors find that their analytical skills are valuable in a wide range of careers.
