Bachelor of Business Administration in Business Economics

Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi - International Study Center (StudyGroup)

The Business Economics program integrates economics with courses in marketing, management, accounting, finance and quantitative analysis. Economics as a discipline is positioned at the intersection of social science and business, so has a great relevance for an extremely wide range of business and public policy issues, thereby providing our successful graduates with great career prospects in both the private and public sectors. By combining the study of economics (the scientific study of how society manages its scarce resources) and business, our degree provides a strong theoretical and professional basis for a successful and rewarding career. Business economics majors gain the skills to gather and analyze data for solving problems affecting companies, governments and non-profit organizations. The program includes basic courses in all business disciplines as well as in economics, and develops the skills that graduates need to work in a wide range of industries. The skillset includes understanding of the incentives that affect human behavior, the operation of markets and the strategic decisions of businesses and governments, both locally and internationally. Career Possibilities: Many students choose to further their studies in graduate school, especially in business and law schools.
