The Economics Department has 14 faculty who teach some 200 of its own majors and minors as well as students from the College of Business and many other departments. Although some of our majors enter graduate school after they leave Chico, the majority enter the labor force immediately. We teach a "way of thinking" that our graduates can use in their personal lives as well as in their employment. We stress the importance of good writing, computing, and interesting, rewarding jobs.
