The Undergraduate Economics Society (UES) is a group dedicated to fostering an interest in economics as an academic subject and research focus, and the establishment of closer ties between students and faculty within UCLA’s Economics Department. Founded in 2010, the organization draws passionate undergraduate students in their goals to uncover unique applications of economic thought. All students interested in economics are welcome to be a part of UES and become a part of the discussion about the vast and interesting field of economics!
We organize economics-related events for the general student body, including seminars led by Ph.D. experts and more. Additionally, we host educational programs such as coding bootcamps tailored for lower-division economics courses.
We showcase student op-eds, articles, research, and interviews in our online Bruin Economics Journal.
