Department of Economics

Economics At MSUM
The Economics faculty at Minnesota State University Moorhead work closely with students to assist in the development of a solid understanding of economic concepts and how to apply these principles to a wide variety of topics.  The faculty are committed to encouraging an awareness and appreciation of the economic relationships among individuals, institutions and society.  Students are encouraged to critically evaluate alternative public policies to achieve various objectives.  In our courses, students read current articles from various newspapers, magazines, and journals and use economic principles for analyzing contemporary issues.  For example, public policy makers often want to reduce the amount that people smoke.  What are various ways that policy can attempt to achieve this goal?

The Economics Department has six full-time faculty members who are
dedicated teachers.  
A small number of majors provides the opportunity for faculty to work with economics majors outside the classroom.
