Welcome to the Department of Economics at Purdue University. Situated within the Krannert School of Management, our Department maintains a distinguished legacy of outstanding research and education, with faculty who are recognized experts in their disciplines.
Our Economics Department provides comprehensive academic programs at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Undergraduate students can choose between two degree options: a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Economics through the Management School or a Bachelor of Arts (BA) through the College of Liberal Arts. Additionally, we provide an Economics Honors Program, along with Minors in both Economics and Business Economics.
The Department features an honors degree pathway and collaborates with the university honors college by offering specialized honors courses and thesis guidance. Our Economics honors program operates independently from the university honors college, allowing students to pursue one or both honors opportunities. For undergraduates seeking a more research-focused academic journey, we offer multiple honors programs designed for driven, high-achieving students.
