The economics website was redesigned as part of the Academic Website Project, which enhances academic websites with an eye toward student recruitment.
The newly designed website effectively communicates the program’s benefits, including:
Numerous paths toward lifetime success
- Economics is a highly flexible major, offering viable career options in business, law, finance, public policy, academia and more. The redesigned website describes the field and explains how it relates to many professions. It also offers information about tailoring the curriculum to specific goals.
Dedicated, expert faculty
- All of the department’s classes are taught by full-time faculty members, and the website’s new content clearly communicates this advantage.
