Getting Help

It’s important to us that all students to feel at home in the department and get the support they need.

There are several resources within the department and the university to help you navigate challenges in individual courses or in broader exploration of the field of economics. Academic Support Services offer a myriad of resources to support Brown students to achieve their academic, intellectual and personal aspirations. These include studying strategies, academic coaching, and workshops.

First Gen Advisor

The department offers a dedicated advisor for first gen students and students with a low income background.
