Faculty

Caring and committed Valparaiso University economics faculty engage students in meaningful dialogue on the moral and ethical dimensions of economic systems and help students learn to think critically about the value-oriented issues of environmental sustainability, poverty, discrimination and faith.

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 development economics, labor economics, public economics, environmental economics, international economics and econometrics
