This video explains how students can decide between a Bachelor of Science (BS) and a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in economics based on their future plans. If you're interested in becoming a technical, performing economist or pursuing graduate school in economics, the BS degree is designed to give you the necessary mathematical foundation. It serves as a strong springboard into advanced study, where quantitative skills are essential and expectations are more rigorous.
For students considering paths in business or public policy, the BA in economics remains a strong and flexible option. The program demonstrates intellectual rigor and prepares graduates for a wide range of careers, including roles in government and business. Both degree options provide valuable skills, but the right choice depends on how technical you want your economics training to be and whether graduate school is part of your plan.
