Economics

The undergraduate Economics program at Stony Brook University offers a comprehensive curriculum that provides students with a deep understanding of economic theory, quantitative analysis, and real-world economic issues. The program emphasizes critical thinking, analytical skills, and problem-solving, equipping students with the tools to tackle complex economic challenges. Students can explore various fields within economics, including microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, international trade, and development economics, and have opportunities to engage in interdisciplinary studies.

With access to renowned faculty members who are experts in areas such as game theory, environmental economics, and labor economics, students benefit from research-driven teaching. The program also offers hands-on learning experiences through internships, collaborative research, and the chance to participate in the department's Center for Game Theory in Economics, which is internationally recognized and has attracted Nobel laureates.

In addition to the core economics curriculum, students are encouraged to gain a global perspective by participating in study abroad or exchange programs. The program prepares graduates for careers in business, finance, government, public policy, or further study in graduate programs.
