CU Denver’s Department of Economics provides you with the academic foundation and flexibility to meet you where you are and launch you into high-demand career opportunities in almost any discipline. Our programs allow you to master the analytical and quantitative tools needed to formulate and answer the questions that matter to you the most.

Economics is the science of decision making. The rigorous approach which typifies economics lends itself to a remarkably wide field of practical applications. As an economist, you could be employed by private businesses, banks, law firms, consulting firms, international corporations and agencies, public utilities, federal and local governments, and colleges and universities. Study a diverse array of issues such as:

  • The effects of government regulations on industries
  • The fairness and impacts of taxes
  • The effects of various policy tools in fighting inflation and unemployment
  • The causes of poverty, and the plight of the homeless
  • Pollution, crime, and other social policy issues

Use analytical tools to not only develop data informed decisions, but to also understand the motivations of people and to ensure that the right questions are being posed.

Whether you are interested in analyzing data, becoming a researcher, exploring a corporate career, pursuing law school, understanding health economics, or influencing policy—economics is the area for you.
