A degree in economics provides excellent preparation for both the job market and for graduate study. Economics is one of the highest paying majors and students are well-prepared for many different graduate programs including MBA programs and law school. Find out more about the career opportunities for economics majors.
We offer a BA in Economics through the College of Arts and Sciences and a BBA in Economics through the College of Business Administration. Additionally, we offer a minor that is a complement to majors throughout the university. We also offer MA in Economics for those interested in graduate work in either economic analysis or financial economics. Finally, we offer a combined BA/MA or BBA/MA which allows students to complete their undergraduate coursework while earning a graduate degree at an accelerated pace.
