Bachelor of Science in Business Administration - Economics

The Department of Economics strives to awaken students’ passion for learning with a focus on economics. The program serves students from the Kendall College of Arts and Sciences, the Collins College of Business and the College of Engineering and Natural Sciences. They may earn a B.S., B.A. or B.S.B.A. (Bachelor of Science in Business Administration) degree with a major in economics.

Many economics alumni advance to MBA or graduate programs while others attend law school or are hired in the private, public or nonprofit sectors.

In addition to basic economics courses, students complete a series of mathematics and statistics classes before customizing their degree plan.

All students must complete the University of Tulsa’s core curriculum and their college’s specific course requirements. These basic economics courses include microeconomics and macroeconomics, advanced theory classes, a session in the history of economic thought and a collection of higher level economics electives such as econometrics, game theory, economic policy analysis, health economics, growth theory, environmental and resource economics, monetary economics, economic development and international economics.

For students who are interested in pursuing business and economics, they can complete courses inside the business core as well as courses specific to the economics major.
