Our students follow a well-rounded curriculum that begins with introductory courses on the principles of economics. In upper division courses, you will apply those principles to decision-making problems faced by families, firms, and government agencies in a global market-based economy.
Students in the UMass Lowell economics major develop a comprehensive understanding of the conceptual and analytical tools needed to make sense of real-world events, as well as the technical abilities needed to be successful in a wide range of career paths and graduate studies.
