Abstract: The number of undergraduate economics degrees awarded by United States colleges and universities stagnated from 2010 to 2013. Growth accelerated in 2014, rising 24 percent over the next five years, but then abruptly stopped. From 2018 to 2024, the number of bachelor’s degrees awarded declined annually, losing 15 percent over the period.
