X. Degree Programs
Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)
Applied Economics (APEC)
Department of Economics, College of Social and Applied Human Sciences.
The Applied Economics program provides students with an opportunity to pursue the study of economics as it is applied to a particular area. In addition to the Applied Economics core, students identify an Area of Emphasis which includes relevant courses from other disciplines. In the final year of study, students take Applied Econometrics and complete a research project under the supervision of a faculty member.
Students are urged to consult the department's program planning guide and the department's advisors for detailed information about courses and programs and about the course of study most appropriate as preparation for graduate work in economics or business administration, for professional degrees such as the Bachelor's degree in Law, and for careers in business and government.
Note: Students specializing in Applied Economics who fail an Economics course twice will not be permitted to continue in the Applied Economics program.
