Bachelor of Arts
This major serves as the core program of the Department of Economics. Its purpose is to prepare the student for entry into a profession as well as for graduate work in economics, business, or related disciplines.
In addition to the five core courses in the major (listed above), students choose from a wide array of upper-division (300-400 level) economics electives to fulfill their remaining economics course requirements for the major. These electives enable the economics major to gain depth and breadth in particular areas of economics and are closely related to career paths students may be interested in pursuing. Of the seven upper-division electives, at least one course must be a 400-level economics course. Economics majors must also complete a one-semester introductory mathematics course (MTH 108, 109, or 131) and an Introduction to Statistics course (MTH 217 or MTH 423).
To encourage our majors to obtain a broad and comprehensive understanding of the issues related to their field of study, economics majors have the option of fulfilling one of their economics electives by taking a related course from another department or program. All course substitutions must be made in consultation with the student’s faculty advisor and require the prior approval of the economics department chair.
