Four Year Plan

The Department of Finance, Economics and International Business offers a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree in Economics. Economics studies the choices that individuals, businesses, and government make when faced with unlimited wants and limited resources. In the program, you will learn how to better understand, analyze, and take action on these interrelationships. You will be taught how to communicate economic ideas and analysis through written and oral presentations and use quantitative techniques and problem solving skills that you learn in order to develop a research project involving economic analysis.
