The undergraduate economics curriculum in American universities continues to evolve, but within a framework of course titles and degree requirements remarkably similar to those of twenty-five years ago. This essay compares the current curriculum with that of a quarter century past, identifying areas of stability and change. It also examines the recent decline in economics majors, exploring its relationship to (and possible implications for) the present economics curriculum. Finally, miscellaneous other issues facing the American undergraduate economics curriculum are discussed.
