“What I liked about Elon’s Economics program was the faculty.They were simply outstanding in every respect. Whether I needed help with Economics, future plans or life in general, I knew I could go to anyone in the department and they would not hesitate to help me.They prepared me well for graduate school and encouraged me to push my limits by presenting papers at different conferences and Elon events.”
