About the Program
About this Program
We strive to strives to teach you to think like economists, empowering you with a self-sustaining capacity to think and learn.
Program Overview
Economic reasoning isn’t just logic and facts. It contains analogies, stories and value premises. As an economics major, you will be expected to acquire competencies in theory and empirical analyses, to adopt either an international or political concentration in their course work or to design their own major in consultation with two faculty members in economics.
Context — political, historical, and cultural — is important. At Hood, students studying economics learn to make important connections between their field and other realms of human understanding.
Individually designed majors are required to complete all core economics course requirements. Majors are required to participate in our lecture series and are strongly encouraged to spend either a semester, year or summer studying abroad. Majors are also encouraged to work with a faculty member in economics on at least one research project. A 3-credit internship in a major international city such as Washington, D.C., is recommended.
