Bachelor of Arts Degree in Economics
The
Economics major is the only B.A. degree offered by the Business Administration
and Economics Department.
The Economics major develops students' analytical problem-solving
abilities through the study of business and policy topics.
The major prepares students for entry-level positions in a wide range of
fields, including banking, insurance, financial investment, and general
business. More
importantly, the major cultivates skills necessary for long-term advancement
beyond the entry level.
In addition, the major prepares students for graduate study in economics,
