The Department of Economics offers two traditional economics degrees.

The B.A. degree in economics is broadly-based in the liberal arts. It incorporates the core of the economics discipline with the liberal arts, including a foreign language.

The B.S. degree is somewhat more focused on the field of economics as an applied field of study. Both are excellent preparation for graduate work in law, business and public policy and for obtaining employment upon graduation. When completed in conjunction with a minor in mathematics both traditional majors provide students with a fine preparation for graduate work in economics.

For those interested in eventually earning a Ph.D. in economics, a double major in economics and mathematics or the combined economics-mathematics B.S. degree offered in conjunction with the Department of Mathematics would be excellent preparation.

Combined Majors

The department offers six combined degrees that blend the subject of economics with another complementary discipline. The degrees offered are:

  • B.S. in Economics and Business Administration;
  • B.S. in Environmental Studies and Economics;
  • B.A. in International Affairs and Economics;
  • B.S. in Economics and Mathematics;
  • B.S. in Economics and Philosophy; and
  • both the B.A. and B.S. in Political Science and Economics.

Completing a combined major takes no longer than completing a traditional major, with the advantage of having a broad knowledge of two complementary disciplines rather than one.
