Department of Economics (ECON)
The Department of Economics offers a wide range of undergraduate courses and several undergraduate programs. Members of the faculty engage in applied economic research in a variety of areas. Current fields of teaching and research include international economics and finance, industrial organization, macroeconomics and monetary economics, technological change and innovation, and economic development. Our undergraduate programs include the Economics Major, which is currently the most popular major at Brandeis. We also offer an Economics Minor and a Business Minor.
The Economics Department is located in the Sachar International Center, together with the International Business School (IBS). All faculty members in Economics hold joint appointments in the International Business School; Economics faculty provide most of the instruction in the Ph.D. Program in International Economics and Finance offered by IBS.
The International Business School sponsors many seminars and other public events of interest to Economics students throughout the year, and also offers a number of business (BUS) courses for undergraduates.
