Spotlight on Economics
While the Great Recession of 2008 has created many hardships in the United States and abroad, it has also stimulated interest in the study of economics. Perhaps as a result, the Department of Economics is vibrant and growing. In the past five years, our number of majors has increased from 196 to 221 while the number of minors has more than doubled, from 98 to 237. Learn more from Department Chair Sara Solnick.
Spotlight on Geography
The Geography Department consists of an energetic, research-active, and diverse faculty who have interests spanning from the local to the global, from climate change to the daily mobility of marginalized groups, using methods from ethnography to geographic information systems.
