Webster's BA in Economics helps students explore the factors that determine production, distribution and consumption of resources. Students gain an understanding of basic economics concepts and how policy changes impact the economy, including the study of institutions, concepts, policy and tools of analysis. Expert faculty help students apply micro- and macro-economic concepts to real-world settings.
The Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Economics at Webster University provides students with a strong foundation for a career in business, government or for further study in economics, finance, law or other related disciplines. Students develop an analytical mindset alongside a strong economic awareness of the world.
Economics graduates are employed in a wide range of industries, including government, politics, journalism, banking, insurance, and other financial sectors. Employers value economics graduates for their application of data and analytics to solve problems. Many graduates continue their studies at law school or other business graduate programs.
Webster's BA in Economics requires at least 41 credit hours of core and major-related courses, as well as 3 credit hours of Walker School professional development courses.
BA Economics students also take applicable University Global Citizenship Program classes, with accommodations for their major, as well as elective classes.
A Minor in Economics is comprised of 18 hours of required ECON classes at Webster University.
