Meet Lauren Smith, senior in the MSU Department of Economics.
Why did you choose Economics as your major?
I chose economics because I enjoyed math and had some amazing AP economics teachers in high school. I was interested in using math and data to understand the world better!
What has been your favorite Economics class so far and why?
My favorite economics class was EC485, Economics of Education. I come from a family of teachers, so it was cool to learn more about the economic side of their field.
What are you looking forward to this year academically?
I am looking forward to graduating this spring! I am also taking a few discussion-based courses, so I am excited to have more conversations with my fellow Spartans.
