The Bachelor of Science Degree in Economics emphasizes the use of advanced math and science in the analysis of economic theories. The program offers students more emphasis on mathematics, statistics, and computer science, as preparation for those who wish to pursue graduate training in economics. As an economics major, you will receive an extensive education in domestic and international economy. You will also study economic institutions, concepts and policy, as well as the tools of economic analysis. If you're more interested in the math, statistics and computer science components of economics, our B.S. in economics is a good fit for you. (If you're more interested in theory and practical application of economics, explore the B.A. in economics which might be a better fit for you.)
