Career paths:
The Bachelor of Science in Business Economics and Finance prepares
students for a variety of career paths: for entry-level positions
in financial analysis and services or in many areas of government
service; for graduate study in economics, finance, or business;
and for the study of business-related areas of law. Financial analysts
work in commercial and investment banks, brokerage houses, mutual
funds, life and health insurance companies, real estate investment
trusts, pension funds, and corporate finance departments of non-financial
firms. Students will also find that this degree prepares them well
for many positions with government agencies, particularly those
offices addressing budget, revenues, debt management, forecasting,
or economic development. This curriculum also provides a solid foundation
for students interested in attending law school, especially in tax,
antitrust, corporate (mergers and acquisitions) or securities law
specialties. Students interested in other areas of economics or
law may wish to enroll in one of the economics degree programs offered
through the College of Arts and Sciences.
Admission, retention, and graduation:
For admission to, and retention in, the major, students must meet
all requirements of the School

of the Economics and Finance department for additional information.
