Academics
The Economics Department offers programs leading to the Bachelor of Science and the Bachelor of Business Administration degree. A major in economics prepares students for a diversity of career opportunities. Economics majors are competitive for jobs in business and industry, local, regional, national, or international government agencies and social service institutions in both the public and private sectors. The economics major also is a good foundation for graduate training in business (MBA or Ph.D.), economics (M.A., M.S. or Ph.D.), public administration, law, and related areas. In addition, we offer two minors: a Minor in Economics and a Minor in Economic Forecasting. These minors provide students with a sample of economics knowledge to complement their programs of study.
