Overview

Students choosing an economics major are advised that a position as a professional economist usually requires a graduate degree in economics. Students planning to enter a graduate program in economics are strongly recommended to include advanced courses in mathematics, statistics, and econometrics in their undergraduate programs.

The BBA in Economics program from The City University of New York required courses form a foundational of knowledge in micro- and macro-economics, respectively. These courses are prerequisites for all other economics courses.

An internship training program is available to qualified day seniors majoring in economics, with 3 credits a semester for 20 weekly hours of work and for no more than two semesters. These credits cannot be counted toward the credits needed for the major.

Career Opportunities

Economics majors are employed by government, nonprofit organizations, industrial corporations and financial institutions such as banks and brokerage houses. Economists do economic analyses of various markets, do pricing studies, determine the effects that government policies have on their businesses, and analyze the implications of international economic events for their operations. All levels of government, as well as international organizations, hire economists to do economic analyses and planning.
