BA Economics

Adelphi University

A Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Economics is an undergraduate program focused on the study of how societies allocate scarce resources, encompassing both macroeconomics (the study of the overall economy) and microeconomics (the study of individual and business decisions). This program equips students with the theoretical and empirical knowledge to analyze economic issues and provides a foundation for careers in various sectors or further graduate studies. 

Key aspects of a BA Economics program:

• Curriculum:

  The curriculum typically includes core economics courses alongside related subjects in the humanities, social sciences, and potentially foreign languages. 

• Focus:

  The program balances theoretical frameworks with practical applications, often incorporating research and analytical skills development. 

• Career Paths:

  Graduates can pursue careers in the public or private sectors, including roles in economics, finance, international relations, and related fields. 

• Further Studies:

  The BA Economics provides a strong foundation for advanced graduate degrees in economics, law, management, or other related disciplines. 

• Flexibility:

  The BA program often offers more flexibility than a Bachelor of Science (BS) program, allowing students to customize their coursework to their specific interests and career goals.
