Both the School of Business and the School of Liberal Arts offer economics degrees. So which do you choose? Pursuing an economics degree in the School of Business (B.S.) is ideal if you:

  • Excel at and enjoy mathematics
  • Want to pursue hands-on economics such as trading or studying financial markets
  • Want to pursue a master?s degree or Ph.D. in economics
  • Are interested in taking business-centric electives
  • Want to double major in finance or another business program

Whether you pursue a B.S. or a B.A. in economics, you will study a liberal arts core at Manhattan College. These are the classes that hone your writing, interpersonal and critical thinking skills. Your business courses round out your education and provide the more technical, quantitative skills.
