Business Economics Certificate
The Business Economics Certificate (BEC) is an innovative program designed to prepare the student for a successful career in a rapidly changing economic environment. The certificate combines an Economics major in the College of Liberal Arts with the Business minor in the Mays Business School, integrating the skills taught in business courses with the fundamentals of economics.
The BEC builds on the fundamental principles taught in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and statistics. The required course for the BEC, econometric forecasting, provides the student with the knowledge, breadth and flexibility to grasp opportunities and challenges in a fast-changing world. This forecasting course will build upon the foundational principles of ECMT 463, a required prerequisite. Two elective courses in applied economics permit BEC majors to develop knowledge and skills in such areas as financial economics, regulatory policy, strategic behavior, and personnel economics. Combined with the business foundations courses, the BEC curriculum prepares the student for success after graduation.
Upon completion of the certificate requirements, the student will be
awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics, as well as the Business
Economics Certificate and a minor in Business.
Note: These certificates will not be recorded on the student's transcript, but
can be included in materials presented to potential employers, organizations,
or other individuals. Graduates of the program will be supported by the Liberal
Arts Career Services, which provides career counseling and arranges interviews
with prospective employers.
The Business Economics Certificate (BEC) was implemented in the 2001 fall semester. Certification may be obtained at the end of any semester upon completion of all degree and BEC requirements.
