Dr. Eric Schuck began teaching at Linfield in 2006. He has been an agricultural economist for more than 20 years now and is primarily interested in studying natural resource, environmental and agricultural economics, with an emphasis on water use during droughts and controlling agricultural runoff.

As part of his research, Dr. Schuck has extensive international experience, including Fulbrights to South Africa and Lebanon, and he has led study-abroad courses to South Africa, France, Samoa and French Polynesia.

Besides teaching, Dr. Schuck also serves as a captain in the United States Naval Reserve. He has deployed to the Middle East twice and is a graduate of the Naval War College.
