The major in managerial economics places greater emphasis on the application of economic concepts and reasoning in analyzing management and finance decisions in the business sector. Relative to the BS in economics, the BS in managerial economics offers a course of study more focused on the business world.
Some economics courses may fulfill the university-wide general education requirement in global understanding. Check with the departmental advising office for more information. Economics majors can fulfill the university-wide general education synthesis requirement with ECON 309.
