Business Through The Economic Lens

With an emphasis on economics as it relates to business, the Albers’ Bachelor of Business Administration (BABA) in Economics degree provides a comprehensive study of economics, business policy, and strategy. Designed for students interested in solving problems and making decisions in the private and public sectors, our program cultivates students' analytical, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, and communication skills.

Economics
Business Policy
Strategy

Our highly effective, dedicated faculty help you develop the skills you need to be an effective and ethical leader. In addition, the Economics Department has an advisory board that consists of local economists from the private, public, and nonprofit sectors. Our work with these experts indirectly enhances a student's experience. For instance, feedback from the advisory board and other professionals has inspired our faculty to create assignments that help students develop the skills most valued by employers.

Upon graduation, you will be equipped to apply the skills you have learned as you pursue graduate study and/or careers in economics, data analytics, law, business, public administration, or other areas of business.
