Economics BBA
Economics is a social science that studies the interactions of individuals, firms and governments. Economists investigate social questions and problems such as discrimination, pollution, poverty, unemployment, efficiency, growth, inflation, optimal policy and resource allocation, among others.
At the same time, the field of economics is essential to understanding the business world and it provides the foundation for applications in accounting, finance, management and marketing. An economics education leads to career opportunities in business, education and government, as well as non-governmental and non-profit organizations. It is valuable as a major or minor for those planning to pursue further professional or graduate training in business administration, industrial and labor relations, international relations, law, and public policy and administration.
The curriculum is divided into economic theory, quantitative methods and a variety of applied subfields. Students who are considering graduate work in economics or related business disciplines should consider a minor in mathematics or a double major in economics and mathematics.
The College of Business and Economics also offers a rich breadth of co-curricular activities to enhance student development and learning outcomes, including award-winning student organizations, internship opportunities and applied learning through the Fiscal and Economic Research Center (FERC).
In addition to the on-campus program, the Bachelor of Business Administration in Economics is available online. No matter how you complete your degree, the curriculum and learning outcomes will be the same. For more information on completing your degree online, visit UW-Whitewater Online.
