Dr. Greg Randolph Tell us about yourself

Why I became interested in my field

I am a Professor of Economics and Chair of the Department of Finance and Economics. I grew up outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and completed my undergraduate studies in finance at Grove City College. After completing my Ph.D. in Economics at West Virginia University in 2007, I moved to New Hampshire to work at SNHU. I enjoy teaching a variety of courses including Microeconomics and Macroeconomics.

My primary research interests are related to public economics (using the tools of economics to study government policies).

My original plan when I was looking at colleges was to major in Math Education, but I ended up starting my college career as a Computer Science major. Then during my Sophomore year I switched to Finance with a minor in Economics. I was always interested in understanding prices, so I really enjoyed my introductory Economics courses. My upper-level Economics courses examined the causes of poverty and explored the role of government in the economy, which are topics that got me hooked on learning more about economics.

I also enjoyed developing math and data analysis skills while examining these important issues. I had some great professors in Economics, Finance, and Political Science at Grove City College who provided me with excellent advice on careers and graduate school opportunities. I became interested in teaching economics as understanding the field is really useful in making personal, business, and government decisions. Finally, I focused on a few Public Economics topics including the economics of direct democracy and special interest groups while working with my advisor at West Virginia University.

Advice for Students

I know that there is a lot of advice out there for students, so I will focus on some broad suggestions and some recommendations focused on academic success. I would recommend that students stay curious, ask questions, and do their best to take advantage of learning opportunities during their time at SNHU. You never really know what is going to interest you or what could lead to a great learning experience until you try it. There are tons of learning opportunities on campus and many interesting people to connect with. I strongly recommend that students take advantage of chances to learn both inside and outside of the classroom and connect with faculty and staff to learn more about their options.

SNHU is a friendly place, and everyone wants to help connect students with learning opportunities.

For being a successful student, I recommend that students try to rely on some commitment devices to stay on track in terms of academic goals. It can be tough to remain on a schedule throughout an academic semester given school, work, and other life commitments.

We also tend to overestimate what we can accomplish in the short term but underappreciate what can be achieved over time.

Some intentional strategies can potentially help keep us on track, For example, committing to meet with some friends for a few hours during the afternoon each day to study and complete assignments could provide motivation to study every day. Another example could include determining rewards for yourself related to the completion of assignments or other academic goals. While the best strategy will depend on the individual student, these types of strategies can help!

Fun Fact I really love travel, music, sports, and trying new food. I assume that most of my students know this – especially the fact that I enjoy food because it is all that I talk about for examples in class. However, it was hard to participate in any of these activities with friends for some time during the pandemic. As an alternative, I got back into some online video games. In particular, I started racing Mario Kart online with some friends and my niece. We still enjoy racing online now, but I am looking forward to getting back to more travel as well!
