More Students Choosing Economics

MU Economics

Economics is one of the fastest growing undergraduate majors at Mizzou! In 2015, 38 students graduated with an economics degree (23 BA and 15 BS); in 2022, 96 students graduated (41 BA and 55 BS).  And the composition of graduates is becoming much more diverse.  In 2015, just 16% of the graduating class was female and 3% URM; in 2022, economics graduates were 48% female and 16% URM.

Mizzou economics is making intentional efforts to recruit majors by improving the students experience and appealing to a broader set of student interests.  Our student groups are partners in this success; check out UMES and UWE today!
