Economics Major (B.A.)

Studying Economics is an excellent way to hone your analytical and critical thinking skills—expertise that offers a natural path into business, law, research or government careers. With this major, you will become an expert in the two fundamental areas of economics: macroeconomics—the study of the entire economy and microeconomics—the study of decisions made by individuals, households and businesses. These two disciplines will provide you with insight into how choices are made at every level, enriching your problem solving skills and decision-making aptitude.

A minimum of 120 credits of coursework is required for the baccalaureate degree with a minimum 2.0 overall GPA, and a minimum 2.0 major GPA. However, more than 120 credits may be required depending upon the major field of study.
