More About the Experience
LILY MULLEN ‘21
“After taking an Intro to Micro class with Dr. Scott my freshman year, I became fascinated with Economics. The Abbey’s Economics program is unique since it offers a well-rounded education that addresses both theoretical and empirical approaches to understanding human action in relation to incentives (including but not limited to money!).”
RAPHAEL WINTERS ‘21
“In the Economics program, I have learned how to think and communicate in a clear, logical way supported via citing evidence, proofs, rhetoric, and visual presentation. And so learning Economics taught me the skills and methods necessary to be a leader in the world.”
