Our internationally distinguished faculty provide our students knowledge that will help expand their employment and earning opportunities in the private and public sectors, and apply economic principles in their daily lives.

The UB Department of Economics is committed to the educational goals of the College of Arts and Sciences and dedicated to creating and maintaining a positive, interactive and personal educational experience geared toward student success. 

We offer lecture and seminar courses with various class sizes, and all of our courses support a mentor/mentee relationship between faculty and students. At the introductory level, students may participate in recitations and/or quantitative reasoning courses to enhance their foundational understanding. Our upper-level courses are designed to be small and facilitate the close faculty support that streamlines our students' path to success.
