Understand markets. Serve people.

What You'll Study

Economics at Union trains you to think analytically about the world — markets, incentives, policy, and the decisions that shape organizations and societies. You'll graduate with the quantitative tools and economic reasoning that are valued across business, government, and research.

Understanding Markets Through a Faith-Informed Lens

At Union, economics is more than models and data — it’s a lens for understanding the world and humanity’s place in it. You’ll develop rigorous analytical skills alongside a faith-informed perspective, guided by faculty who believe economic reasoning and Christian conviction can and should go together.

Study with Those Who Know the Field

Instructors who believe economic reasoning and Christian conviction belong together help you develop rigorous analytical skills alongside a faith-informed perspective.
