Bachelor of Arts in Economics

Bowling Green State University

Economics focuses on how people choose to use resources when faced with competing uses for them. The analysis can be directed to individuals and how time and income are spent, or to society and how it allocates scarce resources. For society, issues of unemployment, inflation, and growth are also focal points of the analysis. Economics majors gain strong analytical skills and the ability to critically evaluate alternatives. Communication skills are also stressed. These skills translate into entry-level positions in business or provide a foundation for law school, an M.B.A., or graduate school. The department also offers a master of arts in economics.
