专业描述

The Economics faculty are committed to both high-quality undergraduate instruction and scholarship. We offer two programs, the BA in Economics and, in conjunction with the Department of Mathematics, the BS in Mathematical Economics. We are proud of our record (exceptional among liberal arts colleges) in placing our graduates in highly-ranked graduate programs in Economics. Former Wake Forest economics and mathematical economics majors are in a wide variety of professions. Our programs are excellent preparation for graduate study in law or business as well as economics and public policy. Many of our alumni go on to graduate school in these and other fields. Others move directly into professions from our undergraduate programs. Banking, financial and management consulting, medical services and pharmaceuticals, real estate and consumer products are only a few of the market areas in which alumni take jobs. Numerous other opportunities for our majors are in the non-profit and public sectors, in areas such as education, fine arts, and public administration.
