"The Barnard Economics Department believes that an excellent liberal arts education in economics must include a thorough grounding in

  • neoclassical economic theory,
  • modern statistical method, and
  • their applications in the traditional fields of economic science

and must go beyond this to a critical study of

  • the origins of economic thought in the Classical political economists,
  • the philosophical bases of economic science,
  • the links between economics and other social sciences and humanistic disciplines, and
  • the political consequences of economic doctrines
  • . "
