The B.A. Major is intended to give the student a solid background in Economics. It is the least quantitative of our three majors, and offers considerable freedom in course selection. Students who prefer a less quantitatively stringent program than an Economics major may be interested in the BIS degree, through which a 15-credit concentration in Economics Department courses may be combined with courses in two other areas of concentration.
The B.A. option provides excellent preparation for students interested in working immediately after graduation or considering Law School. Students interested in graduate level study in Economics should consider one of the other two degrees.
