Economics
Become a Leader in Economics
Economic principles provide the foundation for decision-making in business. Economists’ expertise is in demand in both public and private settings. Our curriculum, taught by former industry leaders, develops students’ analytical and quantitative reasoning while providing coursework across the business disciplines.
The Economics minor consists of 18 credits (6 courses) which provides a strong foundation in the discipline.
The Dual Degree Program allows students to pursue both undergraduate and graduate courses as part of their undergraduate program of study. If you choose this option, you can earn a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Economics and a Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) within five years.
