The Bachelor of Arts in Economics (BAE) degree program will offer a unique blend of required and elective courses that give students a solid theoretical background and overview of different economic fields. It aims to provide excellent training in the core economic theory and different fields within Microeconomics and Macroeconomics. The program is designed to provide students with theoretical knowledge and practical skills for successful careers in the business and government sectors and graduate studies in Economics, Business Administration, International Relations, Law, and many others. The department will offer students to choose Economics as their major or minor. Economics students may pursue a standard Economics major or a math-intensive version of the same major. The math-intensive version provides additional training in sophisticated methods useful in modeling and forecasting complex market behavior. The Economics department also allows non-economics students to declare an Economics Minor. Students majoring in Economics must take six core courses and seven elective courses at 300- and 400- levels. To get a minor in Economics, students must complete five core courses and two elective courses at any level.

The BAE program is designed to be completed in four years. The strength of the program is in the large number of scholars who are experts in different areas of Economics. The program is rounded out by the overall BA curriculum in SSH which ensures that our students take a mix of mathematics, science, history, philosophy, and other classes to given them a well-rounded liberal arts education.
