Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Economics] From Western Michigan University

The B.S. degree couples strong economics training with a significant quantitative foundation that would best prepare students for admittance to a master’s or doctoral degree program without requiring numerous prerequisite classes. This degree also prepares students for more technical careers in applied economics or data analytics with an economic focus.

Students in any of these degree programs are eligible for the department’s new Accelerated M.A. in applied economics. This program allows WMU undergraduate economics majors to accumulate credits toward the completion of a master’s degree while completing their bachelor’s degree. Interested in determining which degree is right for you? Here is a brief comparisons of the B.A./B.B.A. and B.S. degrees in economics. Dr. Michael Ryan, the economics undergraduate advisor, has a lot of useful information on these degrees.
