The Bachelor of Science/Arts Degree in Economics
through the College of Business Administration

The College of Business Administration is a limited access college, which means that it has admission requirements in addition to those of the University in general.

Students interested in majoring in economics through the College of Business Administration should contact the Business Advising Office in BSN 2102 for more information about the program. There is also an Economics Advisor located in the Economics Department, BSN 3432 who can answer questions about economics courses.

 

Major Requirements

The business core requirements include several economics courses which must be taken by all business majors:

QMB 2100 Business & Economic Statistics I

QMB 3200 Business & Economic Statistics II

ECO 2013 Economic Principles: Macroeconomics

Economics majors complete a minimum of 21 hours of upper-level economics beyond the business core requirements. Within these 21 hours, students must take:

ECO 3101 Intermediate Price Theory

and

ECO 3203 Intermediate Macroeconomics

Students must obtain a grade of "C" or higher in ECO 3101. This grade must be earned before enrolling in any course for which ECO 3101 is a prerequisite.
