Economics
Studying economics at Illinois Wesleyan promotes students' critical thinking and analytical reasoning skills, the ability to compare costs and benefits in decision making, quantitative analysis, effective communication skills, and intellectual curiosity.
At IWU, many of our students work one-on-one with our Economics faculty, researching topics of their mutual interest. Seniors have the opportunity to develop independent study projects, presenting their work at local, regional and national conferences.
