The Department of Economics at the University of Wisconsin - Madison is a top teaching and research department comprised of a dedicated group of faculty, staff and students who lead the field in current economic issues.
The mission of the department is to understand the decisions of businesses and consumers as well as the implications and causes of contemporary economic issues by developing a systematic and thorough understanding of precisely how economic systems operate.
Ours is one of the fastest growing departments here at the University due to the relevance of our subject matter in current affairs, and the excellent reputation of teaching and scholarship within the department.
Drop-in advising in the Undergraduate Office starts up again on Monday, April 30, from 10:00-noon every weekday. Afternoon advising reserved for majors, by appointment only.
Please email enrollment requests to econadvise@ssc.wisc.edu, providing all necessary information: problem, requested solution, your UW Campus ID#, and the three-digit numbers of any lectures and sections of economics courses involved.
