The School of Business offers a Bachelor of Business Administration in Economics. Courses in economics will develop your logical thinking skills, understanding of applied statistical analysis, and communication abilities. You will be prepared for careers in industry, finance, or government, or for graduate study in law, business, economics, and public policy.
Many economics majors decide to double major in finance or in a non-business major such as philosophy, history, political science, or mathematics.
Students taking ECON 3355 Quantitative Business Analysis must take a qualification exam, regardless of completion of past statistics courses at UA Little Rock or at other institutions. Read more about this prerequisite test.
In addition to the bachelor’s degree, we also offer a minor in economics.
