An undergraduate Economics major can pursue either a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or a Bachelor of Science (B.S.).  Either choice provides excellent preparation for life after graduation, but they require different aptitudes and lead to different career tracks.  

The Economics Department offers a variety of courses in micro and macroeconomics, statistics, economic policy, econometrics, and more.

Experiences outside the classroom help you put your knowledge of economics to work.  Campus resources enable you to find a career path matching your interests, identify internships, and strengthen your resume and interviewing skills.

Internships with government agencies, businesses, and other organizations are plentiful in the Baltimore-DC area and provide experience in both policy-oriented and market-oriented research.  Academic research is best experienced via departmental honors or independent study.
