Undergraduate Programs in Economics

B.A. in Economics

Most Economics majors choose the B.A. program, which provides a good background for students who plan to begin their careers immediately after graduation.

B.S. in Economics

The B.S. program is designed for students who seek a more challenging and rigorous academic program, and it is well suited for those who plan to go on to graduate school or professional study, especially in technical fields such as economics or management science.

Combined B.S./M.A. in Economics

The combined degree program allows students to apply up to twelve credits towards both their undergraduate and graduate degrees, thereby saving time and expense in achieving both degrees. The combined degree program prepares students for professional careers in economic and empirical analysis in government, business, financial and non-profit institutions. Application Form
