If you opt for the Bachelor of Arts, you will take a number of elective courses in addition to the economics courses. If you follow the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration curriculum, you can also get a minor in any subject, sometimes with only one or two additional courses beyond the number required for graduation without a minor. Through the Career Advantage Program, students can gain practical experience while completing the degree program. Students work for business firms and governmental organizations performing the types of tasks that are typically associated with economics. In addition to the experience gained, students receive one to three academic credits.
Students alternate semesters of academic course work with semesters of full-time employment.
Under this option, in addition to the academic credit granted, students are also paid a competitive wage by the employer. It differs from the two previous opportunities in that the work is typically on campus.
