Student Organizations
The Department of Economics encourages students to grow and connect outside of the classroom. Get involved and create positive experiences and relationships to get the most of your time at “The Beach.”
Economics Student Association is an academic undergraduate student organization and an integral part of that community. Our goal is to bring the education students receive in the classroom and apply it outside. We do this by hosting resume workshops, guest speakers, and this year a trip to tour the Federal Reserve. Our executive board continues to manifest new ideas for the growth of its members professionally and academically.
