Economics examines how societies distribute limited resources across different production sectors. It focuses on decision-making when faced with competing options. This field equips students with analytical skills for addressing issues like job markets, economic development, inflation control, and international commerce. The Bachelor of Science in Economics appeals particularly to those wanting to pair economics with focused studies in other subjects. Compared to the BSBA economics track, the B.S. in Economics demands three additional economics courses but allows students to select their complementary study area (15 credit hours). Learners can extend these complementary studies to earn a dual major in disciplines like sociology, political science, history, mathematics, or psychology. Economics can also be combined with business concentrations including accounting, finance, legal studies, marketing, or management. This curriculum delivers a valuable academic foundation for diverse careers in both private and public sectors, as well as preparation for advanced studies in economics, business, law, and related graduate programs.
