The B.S. in economics provides a rigorous quantitative background for advanced study in economics or for outstanding postgraduate programs in business.  Those students enrolled in the School of Business wishing to emphasize economics should consult their economic advisers.

Students pursuing one of the economic majors are strongly encouraged to complete ECON 1010 Introduction to Microeconomics (3 c.h.) and ECON 1020 Introduction to Macroeconomics (3 c.h.) in their freshman year. They are also encouraged to complete ECON 3010 Intermediate Microeconomics (3 c.h.) and ECON 3020 Intermediate Macroeconomics (3 c.h.) by the end of their second year. Finally students are encouraged to complete an introductory course in statistics offered by the Department of Mathematics.
