Economics as a major in Creighton College of Arts and Sciences

Program in Economics for Arts and Sciences Students

The Department of Economics provides a program of study for students in the College of Arts and Sciences who wish to obtain the degree of Bachelor of Arts with economics as the field of concentration.

The Field of Concentration for Arts and Sciences Students

Concentration major: Economics 203, 205, 303, 305, 508, and fifteen hours of upper division courses in economics. Economics 203 and 205 should be taken in the sophomore year. Economics 303 and 305 should be taken in the junior year. Economics 301 does not apply to the concentration major.

Supporting courses: Sixteen hours of upper division courses outside the field of economics selected with the approval of the major adviser. Four of the hours must be BUS 229 or its equivalent as approved by the Department Chair. The support courses are to be declared and on file with the Department Chair before pre-registering for the first semester of the senior year. Additional course work in mathematics, especially calculus, is strongly recommended.
