Bachelor of Science in Economics

How is Economics at Michigan Tech Different?

Emphasis on natural resources, the blend of business and economics, and the opportunity to work across STEM disciplines on Enterprise teams make Michigan Tech's economics program—and our graduates—stand out. Beginning with a strong theoretical and analytical foundation, the curriculum broadens to include business, engineering, science, mathematics, and other social sciences. The result is a well-rounded educational experience—and graduates who are prepared to examine and solve high-level, high-tech business, economic, and social problems.

What You Need to Know

An undergraduate degree in economics from Michigan Tech makes an excellent foundation for law school, which many of our graduates have gone on to pursue. And for students considering a non-business major, economics is a sought-after minor. Students can dive deeper into the subject by pursuing a Master of Science in Natural Resource Economics.

Small Enough to Care, Large Enough to Lead:

• Faculty and students interact within the Economics Club and during the iOMe Challenge, where Michigan Tech econ majors work with a faculty mentor to find solutions to pressing economic policy issues.
• Huskies are given opportunities to apply developing knowledge and gain real-world exposure by participating in (and winning!) regional and national competitions.
• Open to Michigan Tech students of all majors, the Applied Portfolio Management Program (APMP)—one of the top 50 student funds in the nation—gives students real-world experience on the trading room floor by investing more than $1.5 million of real money.
• The Silicon Valley Spring Break Experience is a one-of-a-kind trip available exclusively to School of Business and Economics students. Huskies travel to the heart of the tech business world, tour companies like Google and Cisco, and meet with successful entrepreneurs, including Michigan Tech alumni.
• The spirit of entrepreneurism is alive on Michigan Tech's Innovation Shore. Business students have the opportunity to gain real-world experience through peer collaboration with our senior-level Business Development Experience, developing and presenting a business plan for a Senior Design or Enterprise project.
