• Why should I consider studying Economics at Lawrence?

You will benefit from small classes and the close attention of our faculty. All courses, including introductory courses, are taught by faculty members, not graduate assistants. The Economics Department offers a variety of topical courses such as Urban Economics, Environmental Economics, the Economics of Medical Care, Social Choice Theory, Corporate Finance, Game Theory, Natural Resource Economics, and others.  Also, student-initiated courses and programs are encouraged.  Many students take one or more tutorial or independent study courses before they graduate. These courses allow students to explore, under the guidance of a faculty member, specialized areas or topics of interest to them.  For details, please visit
