There are three undergraduate degree programs offered to economics majors at the University of South Carolina — a B.S. and B.A. in Economics offered through the College of Arts and Sciences, and a B.S. in Business Administration through the Darla Moore School of Business. Students earning a degree from the Moore School take additional business core courses, while students earning a degree from the College of Arts and Sciences take more courses in nonbusiness subjects.

All three degree programs are managed by the economics department in the Darla Moore School of Business, and all economics courses are taught by faculty at the Moore School. 

Business economics majors in the Darla Moore School of Business may opt for a 12-hour major or a 24-hour intensive major as described in the degree requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. This major combines course work in economics with the business course work in management science, accounting, management, marketing and finance, along with a general education core.
