Bachelor of Science in Business Administration - Accounting (Collateral Option)

At its best, a college major matches a student’s academic talent and interests with preparation for a rewarding career. In the dynamic 21st century labor market, there are many exciting possibilities, but it can be very hard for anyone to predict how their career will evolve. A bachelor’s degree in economics equips students with a broad and diverse set of skills with the flexibility to match the uncertain future. At the heart of this is gaining an understanding of how people, firms, governments and other actors make decisions, and how these decision makers interact with each other in markets and elsewhere. Both theoretical models of behavior and rigorous data analysis build this understanding. These tools of economics are valuable in jobs as diverse as consumer marketing, political advocacy and sports analytics. Perhaps even more importantly, they provide a framework for understanding our ever-evolving society.
