As the University’s largest and most varied academic unit, the College of
Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS) is comprised of
artists, learners, performers, scholars, scientists, and teachers
across 21+ departments, programs, schools, and centers and acts as a
central hub where many of the University’s disciplines intersect. Nearly all
6,000 undergraduates at the University take liberal arts courses with us,
and about one-third of these students declare a first major in a CAHSS
program. Many of our departments, programs, and schools offer master’s
or doctoral programs. CAHSS scholars, artists, instructors, staff, and
students collaborate in a shared quest for knowledge about the human condition
and the development of skills to improve our local and global communities. The
diverse scope of CAHSS allows our students to gain the knowledge and skills
necessary to succeed at nearly any career in today’s global society.
The Economics Department at the University of Denver (DU) currently has
seven tenure-line faculty and three teaching-line faculty. It is strongly
committed to building a diverse and inclusive educational environment, which
is in full accord with the value that DU places on Diversity, Equity and
Inclusion (DEI). As reflected in both their teaching and research, our
faculty have a broader view of what economics is about than is found in the
many other Economics programs in the US. We encourage students not to take in
received knowledge as the truth but to examine it and question it. The
Department thus offers a curriculum that emphasizes the understanding of the
social apparatus that governs the production and distribution of goods and
services, and an appreciation for how economic theories and ideas have
developed over time. We present alternative perspectives on the historical and
present-day relevance of our material, employing more primary sources and
larger reading assignm
ents than one finds in the typical US economics curriculum. Our approach
naturally emphasizes the importance of writing and critical thinking, and
goes beyond the rote acquisition of quantitative skills.
