Department of Agricultural Economics and Economics
Situated jointly within MSU's College of Agriculture and College of Letters and Sciences, our department offers a unique opportunity for students with diverse interests to learn skills in
- critical analysis
- logical problem solving
- data and policy analysis
- written and oral communication
- business management
We train individuals who will make a big difference in the world by applying solid critical thinking skills.
Our award-winning faculty has expertise in a wide variety of fields. We conduct cutting-edge research and teach a myriad of courses. We take an active interest in our students—upper division classes for our majors are small (averaging fewer than 30 students per class), implement many innovative teaching methods, and help to facilitate students' recognition of their own ability (and responsibility) to think independently and to be engaged and active in directing the course of their lives. We focus on teaching students to think, to use logic and reason, and to organize their thoughts in order to solve problems rather than simply memorize and recite the subject matter. We also focus on instilling in students a desire to learn, so that they will leave our courses prepared and eager for lifelong learning.
We offer Bachelor's of Science degrees in Economics and Agricultural Business and a Master's of Science degree in Applied Economics. Our programs have an excellent reputation with local, regional, national and international firms, as well as with exceptional graduate schools in law, economics and public policy.
