Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in Economics

A degree in economics enables students to deepen their understanding of the national and world economies as well as to develop economic analysis skills for careers in business, banking, investments, law, and government. The School of Business offers the choice of a BA degree or a BS degree in Economics. The B.A. program (Liberal Arts track) offers students the methodology and analytical techniques appropriate for graduate work in economics and related professions such as public administration, and law. It provides a foundation for research and analysis in academic and government institutions.

The B.S. program (Business track) is oriented toward the techniques and background appropriate for the business world. It prepares students for graduate work in Business (M.B.A.) and economic analysis within the business community. Students pursuing the B.S. program will complete all core business classes in management, marketing, accounting, and finance.
