The B.A. in Economics is a social science degree. As part of the liberal arts, the B.A. emphasizes the use of economic theory in the analysis of a broad range of social, moral, legal, historical, and political issues. The B.A. degree in economics requires EC 102, EC 103, EC 220, EC 301, EC 302, and seven economics electives. Left with 13 electives beyond the liberal arts core and economics major requirements, B.A. majors have considerable flexibility in designing degree programs that offer excellent opportunities to prepare for a variety of career and educational goals. B.A. majors can easily accommodate a double major or minors in related disciplines, such as mathematics, political science, or history. The B.A. allows students to use economics as the cornerstone for the study of quantitative analysis of public and private management, law, government policy, history and international affairs.
