The program provides for substantial flexibility, so students may tailor their studies to their particular interests and long-term goals.

Both economics degrees require that students complete 120 credits towards the degree. All Economics majors are subject to the university and college's residency requirements. Additionally, students in the Economics majors (B.A. or B.S.) must earn at least 1/2 of their required economics (EC) credits while enrolled in the curriculum, and students must complete at least one-half of the required economics credit hours (EC courses) at NC State 福利逼站.
