Economics is a challenging and rigorous subject. It has served as a pathway to a variety of fulfilling positions and careers in the worlds of business, government service, law, research, and teaching. It is also a fascinating subject that bridges the age-old questions of what constitutes a "good society" with the practical questions of the day. The only prerequisite to majoring, other than your high school degree, is a real curiosity about the sorts of questions that economics seeks to answer. When do market forces serve us well and when do they fail? What can we do to ward off unemployment and recession? When should government seek to get involved in the resolution of economic problems? Will globalization of the economy continue or be reversed? We hope that our dedication mixed with your interests will result in at least beginning the process of answering questions such as these, and in the process further your development as a thinker and productive citizen.

Best Wishes,
