Economics is well-known as a countercylical discipline (when the Dow tanks, who are you going to call?), and undergraduates' interest in economics waxes and wanes. This fall's enrollment statistics from the Office of Student Services, reported in the BC Chronicle of 8 October, show a dramatic increase in majors where 'math is in demand', including economics. Enrollments in physics, mathematics, chemistry, computer science, accounting, finance and economics are all up. Communication remains the largest major (944 declared), with economics at 804 counting both Arts & Sciences majors and Carroll School of Management concentrators. Finance (another CSOM concentration) comes in at 772. Economics also provides a significant number of courses to International Studies majors, and has a departmental minor attracting over 90 A&S students.
