About Us

The Emory Economics Department has the most formidable quantitative caliber in the region and beyond with innovative degree programs that prepare students for future work environments. We offer an undergraduate economics major and joint majors with the Human Health, Mathematics, and Computer Science Departments.  Most of these programs have a STEM OPT designation. Many business students take economics as a supplementary major to enhance their marketability.  The Department also offers MS programs (4+1 and standalone masters) with data sciences, pricing, and health focus and a Ph.D. program with macro, applied micro, and econometrics focus.  Our courses are taught by faculty experts with academic and high-tech experience in economics data sciences, macro/finance, and health.  New degree programs like MS in Economics/Computer Sciences with AI focus and BA in Economics/Arts are in final stages of approval and will be offered in near future.

Emory’s Economics Department not only trains students to work with Data at a deep level but also helps develop analytical and decision-making skills using important economic principles.

The Economics Department has:

• Nearly 40 tenured and tenure-track faculty in a wide range of subject areas
• Distinguished faculty eager to mentor both graduate and undergraduate students
• Focus on Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Health Economics, and Econometrics
