Bachelor of Arts [B.A]/Bachelor of Science [B.Sc] [Economics] From The College of New Jersey

The Bachelor of Science program requires the completion of the business core in addition to theeconomics requirements. As a result, the BS program provides extensive instruction in otherbusiness disciplines (e.g., finance, management) and offers excellent preparation for the MBAdegree.?

The Bachelor of Arts is in nature and in purpose a liberal arts program. It requires completion of the College?s language requirement but not the business core. Due to the relatively small number of fixed requirements, it provides students ample opportunities to pursue either a second major or a minor field outside of the business school (e.g., history, political science) and is especially recommended for graduate study in economics, law, and public administration. Because quantitative skills are crucial at the graduate level, the sequence for students planninggraduate studies in economics should include additional courses in mathematics and statistics(e.g., Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra) with computer applications. Among the options available under the Bachelor of Arts is teacher preparation. Graduates whosuccessfully complete this program are eligible to seek certification to teach middle and highschool ?social studies.? Students in the program complete the BA in economics and associatedliberal learning requirements.
