Economics at Roosevelt University goes beyond the conventional economics that is taught at most universities in the United States and presents students with an economic analysis from the perspective of alternative schools of thought. Roosevelt is one of the few universities in the United States where students can study economics from Heterodox points of view, in addition to mainstream Neoclassical and Keynesian points of view.

Pluralism, heterodoxy, intellectual tolerance and diversity of thought and method form the context for the goals of the Economics Department.
