The Department of Economics at EMU offers majors and minors in economics with diversified areas of specialization, and in labor studies. A major in actuarial science and economics is offered in a joint program with the Mathematics department. The department also participates in other University programs such as language and international trade, area studies offered in the History and Philosophy department, a minor in conservation and resource use in the Biology department, and the Women's Studies program. In addition, the department offers three masters degrees in economics: an MA in Economics, an MA in Applied Economics, and an MA in Development, Trade and Planning.
Students have access to the University computer system through the department's own statistical laboratory and terminals, and through facilities available at various locations on campus.
The department sponsors Eta chapter of Omicron Delta Epsilon honor society in economics, established in 1975 to recognize students who demonstrate ability in the study of economics at an institute where sound economics programs are offered, and the Economics Club, for students interested in economics as a major or minor or complementary field to their studies either for further study in economics or for preparation for professional programs such as law and business administration.
