Bachelor of Science - ECONOMICS

The B.S. degree program in economics provides a solid foundation in the basic skills and analytical techniques necessary to understand changes in the broad economic environment and formulate decisions as consumers, resource owners, and managerial personnel in business, government, and nonprofit organizations. Students choose a concentration in either applied economics or financial economics and complete additional required courses and specialized electives. Both concentrations prepare students for entry-level management positions in business, government, and nonprofit organizations and provide excellent preparation for graduate work in business administration, economics, and law. Financial economics is the rigorous study of financial markets (bonds, derivatives, swaps, and equities) and related institutions.
