BS in Quantitative Economics

The Bachelor of Science in Quantitative Economics prepares students to pursue career opportunities in business, government, and the non-profit sector. Students also receive an excellent foundation for success in law school, Master degree programs in business administration (MBA), and graduate study in economics and other related areas. The Bachelor of Science in Economics is more quantitatively oriented than the Bachelor of Arts in Economics and is more appropriate for students interested in jobs requiring data analysis skills or graduate studies in economics. Students are encouraged to become involved in the Economics Club, a student-run organization that meets regularly to organize applications outside the classroom. Promising students are invited to join the Fed Challenge team, a student-team competition that competes with teams from other universities in a mock Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Students also have the opportunity to become members of Omicron Delta Epsilon, the national economics honor society.
