About the Department
Academic Focus
The UCCS Department of Economics is designed for students who are interested in the field of economics.
Economic questions enter into all aspects of social life: how wages are determined, whether taxes should be raised, how to best provide equality of opportunity in society, how to protect the environment, how to get rich, or how to use resources to satisfy needs - and many more.
Faculty & Research
The UCCS Department of Economics faculty are top-rated educators. Faculty spend a lot of their time outside the classroom doing research on different topics, including international trade policy, economic development in third-world countries, and more.
