This page has been created for the students, friends and family of the Economics Department at CNU.
The purpose of this page is to provide a forum to enhance communication between the department and students, friends and family.
The mission of the Department of Economics is to provide an outstanding, liberal arts education that will enable and inspire our students to live personally meaningful and socially productive lives. We achieve this by teaching a rigorous curriculum that integrates the liberal arts, the core functional areas of economics, and the quantitative competencies needed to address the economic and public policy challenges of today and the future. Students will acquire the analytical and decision-making skills that employers in the private and public sectors value, become informed and thoughtful citizens, and better understand how to enrich human welfare in a complex and interdependent world. Because of its emphasis on sound logic and rational thought, a degree in economics is an excellent foundation for pursuing graduate studies in a wide range of disciplines, including political science, law, public policy, business, international studies, and economics.
