Bachelor's Degree
The Bachelor of Arts in economics upholds the liberal arts tradition by including language and arts courses that meet the university's BA requirements. In addition to six core economics classes, students can select from more than 40 elective options. Numerous electives extend this liberal arts approach, offering classes in economic literature, historical economic perspectives, the evolution of economic theory, and political economy. Those planning to pursue a PhD in economics are advised to either double major in economics (BS) and mathematics (BS) or opt for the joint economics/mathematics program.
