Economists bridge the gap between what’s in the books and what moves the needle, like how much a product costs or where to expand.
As a Business Economics major, you’ll gain expertise in two distinct business functions, all within a single undergraduate degree. You’ll start by studying economic theories so you understand what drives business decisions. Then, you’ll pair that knowledge with coursework in a non-financial discipline.
You can choose from eight different concentrations within the degree to learn how theoretical studies apply across business functions such as economic analysis, entrepreneurship, information technology, international business, law, management, marketing or a custom concentration.
