Curriculum Overview
The economics curriculum emphasizes both technology and exposure to international aspects of economics, including an optional study abroad component. Students develop an international perspective and an appreciation for the technology that makes predictive modeling possible.
The major coursework puts a premium on data analysis, logical problem solving, and excellent speaking and writing skills — all areas identified by the American Economic Association as critical to student success in this industry.

The practice core at Stevens is where you’ll apply the skills you’ve learned in real business simulations, culminating in the Stevens Innovation Expo.

It’s one of the strongest examples of learning by doing — a value emphasized by Stevens and the School of Business — and provides instant credibility for your resume.
