Valpo Economics is About More Than Money

Valparaiso University economics faculty are committed to engaging their students in meaningful dialogue on the moral and ethical dimensions of economic systems and policies within the context of private, Christian, higher education.  Caring and committed faculty help students develop critical thinking on the “value oriented” issues of poverty, distribution of income, discrimination, and business ethics.

With a student faculty ratio of six to one, Valpo's economics students get plenty of opportunity to work closely with experienced, diverse, faculty members who specialize in labor market analysis/health benefits, schools of economic thought and methodology, international economics, economic regional development, public and environmental economics, pension and investment.

Valpo's Economic faculty have distinguished themselves individually and collectively, presiding over restigious organizations, History of Economics Society, Association of Social Economics, Midwest Economics Association, and serving as program organizer for the Committee on the Status of Women in the Economics Profession for the Midwest Economics Association's meetings.
