What is a business economics degree?
Data, and knowing how to analyze it, is a critical part of economics. In the world of business, though, analysis goes only so far — you need to be as adept at finding solutions as identifying issues. The bachelor degree in Business Economics integrates economics with courses in marketing, management, accounting, finance and quantitative analysis. By the time you graduate, you'll have built a foundation that will help you make sensible policy recommendations whether you work in business or government.
