BS in Business Economics

Sacred Heart University

Earn your BS in business economics at Sacred Heart University, and advance your knowledge through both theory and practical application. Economics majors are equipped with the analytical skills essential in the fields of business, public policy and law. The study of economics helps students hone analytical, decision-making and leadership skills. These core skills learned in economics complement many other areas thus, many students choose economics as part of a double major. Economics is the study of decision-making under scarcity. Individuals, households and firms are constantly evaluating the trade-offs of using their time, money and/or resources to satisfy their wants. Economic models explain these behaviors and provide a framework to evaluate shocks to the decision-making process. In the applied field of business economics, students will use economic tools–the core economic theory and applied analytical methods–to critically evaluate decisions by market agents.
