Department of Economics Providence Campus
The Department of Economics is committed to providing students with a

careers in the world of global business.
In addition to courses in principles of macroeconomics and principles of microeconomics which virtually all students take, the department offers other courses for students with a variety of interests. These courses include economic geography, labor economics, and comparative economic systems. In addition, faculty in the economics department teach several international business courses which have significant economics content. These courses are seminar on the european union and foreign area studies.
Beyond
offering courses enhancing students' knowledge of business and the economy
in general, the department offers several programs to enrich students'
educational experiences. One of these programs is the distinguished visiting
economist series of presentations, one each term, which will be open to
all students but will be directed at students enrolled in economics courses.
Additional functions of the Department of Economics include offering seminars and workshops on contemporary economics topics, making presentations to local businesses, and developing professional relationships with local, state and federal government agencies.
The overall plan is to provide students with a variety of opportunities to understand the economy and the role that businesses and government agencies play in the economy.
