Program description
Economics is the study of social, business, and individual decision making and the goals, incentives, institutions, and constraints affecting those decisions.
The University of Minnesota Duluth offers students a choice of two undergraduate degrees in economics: a bachelor of business administration (BBA) degree and a bachelor of arts (BA) degree. This provides economics majors with the opportunity to pursue the college core curriculum that is most suited to their interests and career goals. Any department faculty member will be happy to discuss the two options and advise you as to which degree choice will likely make the most sense. Also department faculty welcomes and encourages student interaction with other students and the faculty through activities such as UROP projects, Omicron Delta Epsilon (honorary society for economics), Economics Club, and other activities and events.
Features of the Economics BBA include:
- Specialize in business: focus your major on the business-related aspects of economics.
- Essential business training in economics, accounting, finance, marketing, and management.
- The option of not having an additional minor or major. Opportunities to get paid or earn credits while working with faculty on research.
- Careers in many areas including finance, banking, energy, retail, insurance, antitrust and regulation, etc. Also, economics majors are often qualified for many jobs that include the word "Analyst" in the title. Ask a faculty member for specific examples.
- Training for graduate school in economics and management (for example, MBA).
Note: Students pursuing the BBA in Economics are not permitted to also receive a BA in Economics.
