Abstract:This paper assesses the state of economics departments at universities in South Africa. A broad range of issues ranging from staff qualifications to courses and curricula to student numbers to research output and transformation is addressed. Such an exercise is needed in the South African context, as departments generally have little knowledge of what is happening at other institutions. This becomes an issue when applications are received from students from other universities and assessments have to be made 'in the dark'. The paper is a preliminary study and is based on questionnaires completed by the heads of departments - describing the situation at the end of 2002 - at all South African universities, except private universities and the technikons.
