The Bachelor of Science in Economics is intended to provide a more rigorous option for students interested in graduate school, given the quantitative nature of graduate study and the profession in general.

An economics degree can give you the skills and abilities that many employers look highly upon including analytical abilities, thinking through a problem and communicating an effective solution, and the flexibility to change with the working environment. A degree in economics can lead to careers in law, government, nonprofit agencies, and business. Remember to start your job search early, and internships are always helpful.
