The Bachelor of Arts in Economics provides a comprehensive liberal arts education that sharpens students' analytical abilities and practical applications for interpreting human decision-making. This program structure creates avenues for hands-on investigation of economic concepts through research projects, internships, and international study opportunities, all while emphasizing quantitative proficiency and cultivating logical reasoning. Along with mandating four semesters of foreign language study, the BA curriculum incorporates diverse courses from across the College of Arts and Sciences and Texas A&M University. The flexible core requirements and elective options enable students to pursue a balanced education that supports their academic and career aspirations.
Students first establish core knowledge through introductory microeconomics, macroeconomics, and math courses before advancing to statistical analysis and intermediate economic theory. These analytical tools are then implemented in advanced coursework to examine real-world scenarios, with special attention given to evaluating societal issues through an economic lens.
