Academic Accelerator - Bachelor of Arts - Economics

Program Description

• The right amount of support when you need it.
• A seat in credit-bearing courses, so you can earn a full freshman year’s worth of credits while taking courses tailored to your needs as an international student. This will help you achieve your academic and career goals.
• English-language instruction designed around your social and academic needs.
• Integrated and cohorted courses, so you’ll be in some classes with U.S. students and others with your designated UDayton Global cohort.

Your pursuit of a degree in economics will provide you with a broad liberal arts background. You’ll relate economics to the social sciences, humanities and scientific method to help you understand how economics plays a role in all facets of life.

Required courses include microeconomics and macroeconomics, a senior seminar in applied economics and five additional economics electives chosen from a variety of fields. Supporting courses in calculus and statistics prepare you for the quantitative nature of economics.

In order to prepare you for work in our global society, you will also complete a language requirement. You may satisfy the requirement by taking a proficiency examination, completing an intermediate-level language course or participating in an approved education abroad experience.

You don’t have to wait until after graduation to put your knowledge of economics to use. By participating in the internship program, you will have the opportunity to gain real-world experience and valuable preparation for your career. Both paid and unpaid internships are available.
