Associate of Science

Program Information

An Associate of Science degree in economics prepares a student to obtain a bachelor's and ultimately a graduate degree in economics. This degree places a heavy emphasis on the math background necessary to pursue further education. Economists work for firms, not-for-profits, governments, and international organizations. They employ qualitative and quantitative models to analyze and predict behavior in a wide variety of fields.

Transfer Notes: Students more interested in the business orientation of economics should follow the business administration AA degree.
