The Department aims to provide a broad understanding of the functioning of our economic system and the organization and operation of business enterprise within the system, as well as to stimulate an analytical approach for evaluating and determining economic policy.
The program of courses is designed not only to provide a strong foundation for graduate study, but also the basic economic and business fundamentals needed for direct employment in business upon graduation, and for teaching business subjects in the secondary schools.
The Department encourages its majors and minors to study or work abroad to gain international awareness and experience. For example, the Denmark International Studies (DIS) Program in Copenhagen, the Gustavus-Murdoch Exchange Program in Perth, Western Australia, the Kansai Gaidai Program in Japan, and an economics program in Uppsala, Sweden offer courses acceptable for major or minor credit at Gustavus. Students should talk to their advisors early in their studies about international programs and internships.
