Managerial Economics Major
The special major in Managerial Economics is a multidisciplinary major designed exclusively for students earning a Bachelor of Liberal Studies (BLS) degree. The major explores the complementary areas between economics and business administration. Coursework in economics provides the theoretical background, or as some students have noted, the “big-picture,” while the business coursework provides the real-world, day-to-day application of concepts.
