Program Overview

Humanomics Program

The Humanomics program is an interdisciplinary initiative that seeks to teach and research a humanistic science of economics. It aims to explore the connections between economics and the humanities, recognizing that these two fields are often perceived as disconnected.


Program Description

Humanomics is designed to provide students with a deeper understanding of the human experience and the role of economics in shaping our lives. The program combines the study of economics, philosophy, and literature to examine the complexities of human behavior, morality, and decision-making.


Minor in Humanomics

The minor in Humanomics requires a total of 21 credits, with 12 credits being upper division. The program is broadly organized around three questions: What makes a rich nation rich? What makes a good person good? And what do these questions have to do with one another?
