Housed in the Meehan School of Business , the Department of Economics offers a major and minor in Economics.
Departmental Mission
Our mission is to provide a curriculum and learning experience in the theory and practice of modern economics. We provide the foundation for applying theory to classic microeconomic issues like prices and quantities in markets and macroeconomic issues like unemployment, growth, and inflation. We also explore recent advances in economic thinking about human behavior and their implications. In all courses, we strive to help the student ask, and answer questions both creatively and critically. With that goal in mind, teaching analytical and communication skills is central to the Stonehill economics curriculum.
The Department recognizes an intellectual, cultural, and social duty to the community and pledges its resources to that end when appropriate and feasible.
Career Outcomes
An undergraduate degree in economics can open up a wide range of career opportunities across various industries, government, and nonprofit organizations. Some common career outcomes for individuals with an undergraduate degree in economics include (but are not limited to): Investment Banker, Financial Analyst, Banking and Finance Professional, Consultant, International Development Specialist, Data or Market Analyst, Attorney, Economic Forecaster, Economic Policy Advisor, or as a Research Economist in the public or private sector.
Learning Goals

- apply theory and quantitative analysis to historical perspectives, specific markets, social issues and public policy.
- gain a foundation for success in performing analysis and developing strategy in fields like investment banking, financial-markets, industry, consulting, government service, public policy analysis, non-profit organizations and law.
