Economics Major - Economics Option


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Majors, Options, and Minors

The Economics major - Economics Option  focuses primarily on economic principles and is designed to provide students with an understanding of the present economic system and how economics relates to other disciplines and fields of study. The major is designed for students who desire to study economics but do not wish to take all of the common requirement courses prescribed for Business Administration majors. Students majoring in Economics will have the flexibility to pursue minors in other areas as well as preparing for teaching certification. The Economics-Economics Option is excluded from the AACSB International School of Business Administration accredited degree programs.
