Bachelor of Arts in Economics
The B.A. in Economics is offered primarily as a degree in the liberal arts. The major offers students valuable preparation for a variety of career paths.
Students may design their programs of study: for immediate entry upon graduation into business, government, or other employment; for graduate education leading to a business administration, law, or other professional degree; or for graduate work in economics or related disciplines.
Bachelor of Arts in Financial Economics
The B.A. in Financial Economics provides a rigorous curriculum that prepares students for careers in quantitative financial economics. The program provides exposure to economic theory at the advanced undergraduate level and to economics and finance courses that are traditionally offered separately in economics and business degree programs. The program focuses on analytical skills, with a calculus requirement more rigorous than that required for either economics or business, and with a requirement that the student take an upper-level course in economic statistics or econometrics. The curriculum for the program is distinctly different from the existing curricula in economics and business.
Bachelor of Science in Environmental Management and Policy
The B.S. in Environmental Management and Policy is an applied economics program designed for students interested in environmental and natural resource economics, environmental law, adventure recreation management, and environmental education. The curriculum integrates economics and environmental management coursework, stressing the development of analytical and professional skills. The major has a good degree of flexibility, offering several concentrations that allow students to focus on their particular area of interest. The curriculum prepares students for careers in environmental law, environmental and natural resource managment, environmental consulting, and adventure recreation management.
Bachelor of Science in Resource and Agribusiness Management
The B.S. in Resource and Agribusiness Management will position you for a career in tomorrow’s rapidly changing global economy. This degree will cultivate the business skills necessary to succeed in sales, marketing or management careers while developing applied tools to operate in small-business, finance, food, natural resource-based or international industries.
Bachelor of Science in Ecology and Environmental Science
The B.S. in Ecology and Environmental Science (EES) is designed for students who wish to pursue an interdisciplinary environmental program of study. Each student chooses a primary area of study. Students advised by the faculty members in the School of Economics often choose the Resource and Environmental Policy; Land Use Planning; and Natural Resource Management concentrations for their primary area of study within the EES program.
