Trends in Undergraduate Economics Degrees: An Update.

Siegfried, John J.

Journal of Economic Education, v28 n3 p279-82 Sum 1997

Notes the trend of declining enrollments in undergraduate economic programs in the United States and discusses its impact. Although similar enrollment drops have occurred twice since World War II, this one arrives at a time of academic budget-cutting and a "soft" market for Ph.Ds. Includes statistics and tabular data.
