Welcome to the website of the Wellesley College Department of Economics!

Economics is one of Wellesley’s most popular majors, and our courses are important to a number of interdisciplinary majors and programs as well. We pride ourselves on the rigor and diversity of our curriculum. You can find more about our courses and programs on this website.

The economics faculty includes both permanent and visiting members who are committed to excellence in undergraduate teaching and who have productive research careers. Read more about us in the Faculty section.

We have set aside a separate section on the Current Semester in which you can find information about course schedules, faculty office hours, speakers and events and contact people for your questions about study abroad, transfer credit and other issues.

We hope you will use this website to begin your exploration of the study of Economics here at Wellesley, and follow up with us to learn more.

Sincerely,

Phil Levine
Class of 1919 Professor and Chair
