Pre-Business - Bachelor of Arts - Economics

The economics major offered at the College is designed to prepare students for positions as economic and statistical analysts in business, government and nonprofit organizations, and for the teaching profession. In addition, it provides a strong foundation for graduate study and research in the fields of economics, business, public policy and law.

Students who are new to The College of Business begin as "Pre-Business" Majors, rather than one of our ten Business Majors. Pre-Business Major students may not enroll in upper-division Business courses (300 or above) until they have been formally admitted to an upper-division major.

Pre-Business majors are required to complete the nine Pre-Business Core courses and obtain a 2.0+ UNR Grade Point Average to be admitted to a Business Major. Completion of the nine Pre-Business Core Classes typically takes most Pre-Business students four semesters.
