Students pursuing economics through the joint degree program will gain advantages from combining William & Mary's broad liberal arts curriculum with the specialized, structured approach of a St Andrews education. The program also leverages the distinct strengths of both institutions' economics departments. Both departments excel in applied economic theory, with St Andrews demonstrating particular expertise in dynamic macroeconomics, financial studies, household economics, competitive markets, innovation, and environmental economics. St Andrews houses two specialized research hubs - the Centre for Dynamic Macroeconomic Analysis and the Centre for Research in Industry, Enterprise, Finance and the Firm. Meanwhile, William & Mary's Economics Department shines in health economics, experimental economics, and international trade studies. William & Mary faculty also play prominent roles in several research centers including The Schroeder Center for Health Policy, the Thomas Jefferson Program in Public Policy, and the Reves Center for International Studies.
