The Department of Economics and Business at Linfield College is the largest department on campus: nearly one-third of Linfield students major in a subject taught by "ECBU" faculty.
Studying Economics and Business at Linfield
The department shares the college's strong commitment to the liberal arts and the courses and programs reflect this commitment. Students receive a sound education in economics and business with a hands-on emphasis and find a faculty dedicated to preparing them for a career in the business world through the one-on-one attention that is Linfield's hallmark.
Each class in the business curriculum has its own personality due to the variety of faculty interests, perspectives and approaches. In accounting and finance courses, students become skilled at working with numbers and learn the relationships they reveal. In marketing and business policy courses, students learn by examining real company cases and preparing oral and written presentations. Business majors will understand not only how to calculate figures, but how to present them effectively to an audience of peers. Internships allow students to apply their education at Linfield to a practical working environment.
