still under review by the Ohio Board of Regents at the time of this
publication. For this reason, the requirements for this program are
listed in this catalog for information only. Final approval from the
Ohio Board of Regents must be received before students may
officially declare this academic program. Please refer to the online
catalog for confirmation of the current status of this program of
study.
The
Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in economics
prepares students for success in a wide variety of careers.
Although various roles in businesses are most common, economic
majors are successful in law, medicine, government, nonprofit,
