About Us

The Economics Center for Education & Research was founded in 1977. We are a leading source of economic information and resources for educators, students, businesses, and the community.

For more than 30 years, the Economics Center has trained teachers, developed classroom materials, and revolutionized economics learning for students from kindergarten through high school. Annually, the Economics Center trains 800-1000 educators. These individuals improve their working knowledge of the economy, entrepreneurship, and personal finance and then pass this knowledge onto over 25,000 students. We serve a diversity of students and teachers, from urban to rural.

Through our research services, the Economics Center supports business and community organizations. Our economic impact and economic development expertise guides the decision-making of the community, government agencies, and policy makers.
