Economics
The Economics major provides students with a solid understanding of the theoretical tools of economic analysis and their application to economics issues which concern individuals, firms and/or nations, either in the domestic setting or internationally. Students acquire the analytical and problem-solving skills needed to investigate and critically evaluate economic conditions and trends.
Within Economics, there are two possible majors. The B.A. in Economics allows students the opportunity to earn a major that builds on the liberal arts foundation of Salve Regina University. It offers students a strong background in economics while at the same time allowing students to double major in other disciplines such as Political Science, History, Psychology, etc. The B.S. in Economics familiarizes students with the quantitative tools used in the analysis of economic policy. Additionally, it includes business courses that focus on the application of theory.
Both majors are designed to prepare students for a wide variety of career opportunities in business and government, to pursue graduate study, and to become better-informed and productive citizens.
Major Requirements
Students earning a B.S. in Economics complete a minimum of 120 credits to earn a bachelor’s degree: 49-51 credits of core courses (see page 45 ), 10-18 elective credits, and 59 credits (19 courses) in their major :
