Bachelor of Arts in Economics
Bachelor of Arts in Business Economics


Economics is a broad-based, analytic approach, useful in many aspects of life including business and government work. It provides a way of thinking about the world around us, looking at how people transact and the institutions that facilitate transactions. Our students go on to careers in government and business, and a few will go on to graduate schools in economics, law, and business. Economics, as a minor or as part of a double major, provides an excellent complement to other liberal arts majors or in business. We have a well-trained, enthusiastic faculty that is willing to devote time to students outside of class as well as in the classroom. Also, there is an active student Economics Association that is always seeking new participants. In all, we provide a stimulating, informative, and enjoyable environment.

(We also have a five-year program for economics majors who maintain a 3.3 GPA and want to earn both a B.A. in Economics and a M.S. in Applied Economics. Please consult our graduate director for more details.)
