The Department of Economics at the University of Nevada, Reno is an “idea place,” and seeks to become an increasingly creative and valuable resource as it conducts teaching, research, and service activities.

Through its two undergraduate degree programs, its two graduate level master’s degree programs, and its minor, the Department transfers existing economic ideas to students.

Through basic and applied research, the Department’s faculty members create and develop ideas that push back the frontier of knowledge and assist public and private decision makers in practical ways. Through service to the community and to the economics profession, the Department seeks to be the “go to place” for creative and practical ideas.

We value our students and alumni. The alumni features that can be viewed on this site illustrate the various paths people have pursued with their economics training, and highlight the success of the individuals featured. Current students are encouraged to get regular advising and participate in the economic club to become more connected with the faculty and other students, and to learn more about the variety of doors further economics training can open.
