Department Statement

Economists study how people and societies decide what goods and services to produce, how to allocate resources for production, and how to divide the income created in the process. Economics courses deal with national economic health and the behavior of industries and individual frms, as well as the decisions made by individuals in households and families.

Economics majors who plan to enter the job market immediately after college fnd the degree useful in obtaining jobs in management and other areas where training in systematic thinking and empirical analysis are prized. A degree in economics is excellent preparation for law school, for MBA programs, for teaching, or for graduate work in economics or other social sciences. Boise State University ofers two paths to a degree in economics: 1) a bachelor of arts, which includes economics and elective courses in social sciences or mathematics (quantitative option); 2) a bachelor of business administration, which includes economics and standard business courses. Students may also choose to pursue a bachelor of arts with an emphasis in social science, secondary education.

Admission Requirements

Students interested in pursuing a degree in the College of Business and Economics (COBE)(except for BA in Economics; BA in Economics, Quantitative Emphasis and BA in Economics, Social Science, Secondary Education Emphasis, BS in Business and Economic Analytics) must be admitted to the college. Admission to COBE is required before a student may enroll in most upper-division business and economics courses. See page 13 for exceptions to these requirements.

Admission to COBE is competitive and based on various academic criteria such as overall GPA, performance in gateway courses, and other business and economics courses.

• MATH 160 Survey of Calculus

• Meet minimum cumulative GPA requirement of 2.5. A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 must be maintained in order to remain admitted to COBE.
