A liberal-arts economics degree examining micro- and macroeconomics, policy, development and data analysis, distinct from the more business-focused BSBA Economics major. Prepares graduates for policy, research, consulting and graduate study in economics.
A liberal-arts-oriented economics degree taught through lectures, econometrics labs and an independent senior research project (ECO 490), broader than the business-core BSBA economics track.
Applicants below the English threshold may enter via the Achievement Academy Bridge Program.
Graduates enter public-policy analysis, banking, finance, market research and business management, or progress to graduate study in economics, law and related fields.
