Economics
Develop an analytical toolkit that allows you to critically examine complex economic, political, and social issues.
Students studying economics at Lewis & Clark develop an analytical toolkit that allows them to think more critically about complex economic, political, and social issues. We believe in a skills-based approach to education, and our goal is to use foundational and contemporary economic theory to hone your skills in analytical thinking, quantitative assessment, writing, and speaking. We pride ourselves on being a rigorous but supportive environment where our faculty share your enthusiasm and excitement for the application of economics to a range of issues. Graduates will be able to use economic theory to form rigorous hypotheses, collect the economic data relevant to those hypotheses, use empirical and quantitative methods to test and interpret those hypotheses, and, finally, communicate their analytical results in oral, written, and graphical formats.
