Economics Program
The Economics program is designed to provide students with the tools and concepts necessary to understand our modern economy, to function more effectively as citizens, and to make sound decisions. A major in economics opens the door to a wide variety of jobs in business, government, not-for-profits, education, finance, economic consulting, and other business professions. Economics is particularly appropriate for those students who plan to enter public service or law, whether in the community or at other levels, or who plan to go on to graduate study. ()
To accommodate students who are interested in different career paths, both BA and BBA degrees in Economics are offered in the Coggin College of Business. The BBA program requires core courses in business, and is intended for students who are considering a business career. The BA program leaves more flexibility for students to add a major or minor from other disciplines (e.g. Psychology, Communication, History, Political Science, Sociology, Statistics).
