Bachelor of Business Administration - Business Economics

A major in Economics is designed for students who wish careers in bank management, business forecasting, labor relations, operations analysis, or who wish to pursue managerial positions in governmental and corporate organizations. The study of Economics requires a blend of analytical, evaluative and descriptive skills and can be very rewarding.

Pittsburg State University's student-focused, internationally diverse and accomplished faculty offers hands-on learning where they emphasize one of their core values of “by doing learn” throughout the program. Students majoring in Economics apply their knowledge by conducting research as part of their upper-level coursework and compete in Pittsburg State University's Undergraduate Research Colloquium. By developing a question to explore; designing a research plan to gather data, analyze that data, and reach conclusions; developing a written report to communicate the results, and presenting the results to faculty, students move beyond the lecture environment to being able to extend their education to real-world situations.

Pittsburg State University also has a low student-to-faculty ratio allowing students to get extensive interaction with the faculty and become more than just a face in a classroom.
