Economics (BS)
Economics students can develop their understanding of economic issues in a variety of areas including: econometrics, game theory, health economics, industrial organization, international economics, labor economics, money and financial institutions, public finance, resource and environmental economics.
A degree in economics provides rigorous analytical training with a broad understanding of the workings of the global economic system. Its flexibility allows students to tailor their education to specific interests and career goals. The undergraduate programs in economics prepare a student for careers in business and government as well as for many graduate and professional degree programs.
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.
