BS - College of Arts and Science

Economics (Business Economics)

The BS in Economics with an emphasis in Business Economics is designed to complement the studies of students pursuing a BSBA in Business Administration or BS in Personal Financial Planning, adding the broader economic worldview, analytic focus, and technical data skills to the valuable professional skills imparted by their degree programs. The curriculum includes more quantitative coursework than the BA in Economics but less theoretical work than the standard BS in Economics, focusing on practical courses that are of the most relevance to Business Administration and Personal Financial Planning students while also allowing students to take electives that focus on various aspects of economics, such as labor, law, and game theory. Graduates in Economics enter a diverse field of jobs in banking, insurance or other financial sectors, a wide range of private sector businesses, such as the tech industry or health care, or even open their own business. Students pursuing a BS in Economics with an emphasis in Business Economics must be dual enrolled in the Trulaske College of Businesses Business Administration program or CAFNR's BS in Personal Financial Planning program.
