Bachelor of Arts - Economics

The major in Economics provides rigorous training in economic theory and quantitative methods. Students develop analytical and critical-thinking skills, and are well trained for careers in policy analysis, financial analysis, business, or law school.

Students may choose the general economics major in which they will customize their program of study by selecting electives in economics, finance or policy, or they can pursue the specialization in Agricultural Economics through the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences. This program also provides strong preparation for students pursuing a graduate degree in economics, law, or a related field.
