The department offers four different paths in the major and a minor. Undergraduate students in economics can enhance and extend their learning through internships and the University Honors program.
At the graduate level, the Economics Program participates in the Master of Public Policy (MPP) and the PhD in Public Policy, which offer degrees in Public Policy.
In conjunction with Oregon State University’s Ecampus, we offer an Economics degree online. We also offer an online minor for those who wish to complement another degree.
Student Focus
During her childhood, Sophia Schmiedt would travel from Manteca, California to Corvallis to visit her uncle. Schmiedt says the two small-ish towns share a homey and rural-esque charm, so when she applied to OSU as a civil engineering undergraduate, “it just felt right.”
Now in her fourth year at OSU and on track to graduate in June 2023, Schmeidt is also one of the top five Reserves Officers Training Corps (ROTC) cadets in the nation, and will soon receive not only her Bachelor of Science in civil engineering, but also a B.S. degree in economics.
