The Bachelor of Science in Economics provides a rigorous liberal arts education focused on strengthening students' analytical abilities and practical applications for comprehending human decision-making. This program structure creates avenues for hands-on investigation of economic concepts through research projects, internships, and international study opportunities, while emphasizing quantitative proficiency and the cultivation of logical reasoning. Beyond developing expertise in social science research and data interpretation, the BS curriculum incorporates diverse course offerings from across the College of Arts and Sciences and Texas A&M University. With adaptable core requirements and elective options, students can craft a comprehensive educational experience to support their academic and career aspirations.
To establish fundamental knowledge, undergraduates complete introductory courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and mathematics before advancing to statistical methods and intermediate economic theory. Upper-division classes then apply these analytical tools to real-world scenarios, particularly examining societal issues through an economic lens.
Economics BS graduates enjoy access to numerous professional pathways, with many entering business, legal, financial, nonprofit, governmental, public policy, or political careers.
