At the academic heart of ASU, this program is part of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the university’s largest and most diverse college. Its world-renowned faculty include 15 National Academy of Sciences members, 3 Pulitzer Prize winners and 2 Noble Prize winners.The Bachelor of Science program in politics and the economy prepares students for careers that require a sophisticated understanding of the relationship between politics and the economy. This program was created in response to the growing recognition that many of the world's most pressing problems (e.g., growth and development, tax reforms and climate change) are fundamentally political and economic problems. The program combines core courses in economics and political science. Using the strengths of the Department of Economics and the School of Politics and Global Studies, the program enables students to gain strong quantitative and modeling skills and a rich understanding of political context.
