Bachelor of Science in Economics

The industry-centric approach with robust partnerships and integrated learning through a multidisciplinary curriculum are the two common threads throughout any educational programs offered in the Department of Economics at the Missouri University of Science and Technology (S&T).We, the Department of Economics at Kummer College, will continually strive to provide a transformative education that prepares tomorrow’s leaders and decision-makers. To do so, all degree programs will be industry-centric in that industry leaders will be engaged in discussions involving current trends in the marketplaces and how they can be addressed in the program curriculum. In addition, collaborations will be sought to provide students with a wide range of hands-on experiential learning.The economics curriculum also emphasizes a “personalized” educational experience that allows students to combine their “academic strengths” with their “career goals” and “personal interests” through a set of carefully designed market-driven multidisciplinary degree programs.Economics studies how people make choices when facing scarcity. Human behavior has important implications for the outcomes of markets, government policies, and all corporate and public decision-making. As a result, economics graduates are in high demand from employers across various industries, and a bachelor's degree in economics can open a successful career in almost anything and everything. The advantage of majoring in Economics is that it provides excellent preparation for diverse career opportunities and exceptional financial rewards. A bachelor's degree in economics prepares students with a solid foundation to go into a graduate degree in economics, business, finance, law, or other fields.

Missouri S&T seeks international students who have a strong probability of succeeding at the university. Admission is selective and based on a combination of secondary school core curriculum (a set of required secondary school classes), ACT and/or SAT composite scores (if available), grade point average (GPA), and class rank percentile. (For non-ranking schools, GPA will be used to evaluate your application).International students must fulfill the same admission requirements as domestic applicants, but standardized test scores (ACT or SAT) are not required but should be submitted if available. Meeting the minimum requirements, however, does not guarantee admission, nor does it guarantee admission to a particular program. Missouri S&T appreciates well-rounded students and evaluates each application individually.
