Bachelor of Arts [B.A] Economics
The Department of Economics is one of the core social science departments within the School of Arts & Sciences-Newark at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.
The department offers both a major and minor in economics leading toward the BA degree. We also maintain an MA program in economic and an accelerated 5-year BA/MA program.
The economics major and minor are designed to instruct students in economic theory, methods and analysis. The courses prepare students for a variety of fields where economics is relevant and important, including business, law, and government. The program gives students a solid grounding in both critical thinking and knowledge of the field in general. The courses provide an understanding of markets and economic systems, and how to perform research and data analysis. The major also prepares students for graduate work in economics, business or related fields.
