BBA Economics

The Bachelor of Business Administration in Economics equips students with a variety of skills sought by employers, including conceptualizing and solving problems; locating, organizing and using relevant information; and analytical ability. In their junior year, students learn microeconomic and macroeconomic theory and take an econometrics class to learn basic analytical skills. Students then take a series of electives that deal with vital current topics relevant to many careers in which these theories and skills are applied, such as our financial and banking system; the economic relations between the United States and foreign countries; government spending and taxation policies; the U.S. health system and policy options. During their senior year, students take a capstone course that utilizes and applies the theory, skills and institutional knowledge learned in the program.
