Overview

This Politics and the Economy BSc program offered at Arizona State University is a response to the growing recognition that many of the world's most pressing problems (e.g., growth and development, tax reforms and climate change) are fundamentally political and economic problems. The program combines core courses in economics and political science. Utilizing the strengths of both the ASU Department of Economics and the School of Politics and Global Studies, students graduate with strong quantitative and modeling skills and a rich understanding of political context.

Students currently enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in politics and the economy may not pursue a concurrent degree with the BS in economics from The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, a Bachelor of Science in economics from the W. P. Carey School of Business, a Bachelor of Science in political sciences or a BA in political science due to the high level of overlap in curriculum. Students should speak with their academic advisor for any further questions.

Career Opportunities

According to external forecasters of employment growth (U.S. Department of Labor and the U.S. News & World Report), job opportunities for graduates of the politics and the economy degree program are expected to grow as fast or faster than the average growth of the labor force. They note that the demand for graduates grounded in economics and political science is driven by the growing complexity of the global economy, the increased implementation of financial regulations in wealthier nations and the growing competitiveness of the business environment.
In terms of specific sectors, graduates are well-prepared for entry positions in government at all levels (local, state and federal), business, economic and political consulting, and law. They are also prepared to pursue advanced degrees in law, business, economics or political science.
