EOU’s online degree in economics provides tools to learn and apply economic theory in many fields. Beginning with basic concepts in statistics and research methods and working through economic theories and principles, you can direct your research toward your own interests. Throughout our program, work one-on-one with faculty who have many years of professional experience in the field plus their PhDs.

The economics curriculum first gives a comprehensive background in micro/macroeconomics, calculus, statistics and research methods, plus theories and principles of economics. Then, students will explore diverse topics of inquiry to address critical, real-world cultural and social problems. Ultimately, faculty will combine theory and practice to guide students through conducting and reporting on their own original research. Graduates will practice mastering the operation of the market system. With this degree, you can enjoy diverse job opportunities in economics, business, government or law.
