Bachelor of Science in Economics
The Bachelor of Science in Economics is a professional degree for non-business majors who want to prepare for graduate school or desire career opportunities in international trade, applied economics, or the social sciences. These careers include work as private- and public-sector economists, as well as employment in other jobs that involve the study and forecasting of economic conditions and trends. Successful organizations require personnel with the skill to gather and analyze information about the economic environment that can be used to develop business or public policy. A degree in economics is excellent preparation for any career that requires knowledge of decision-making methods and the ability to analyze data relevant to making those decisions. The degree in economics is also sufficiently flexible to appeal to those students who desire a double major.
