Bachelor of Economics
A Bachelor of Economics (BEc or BEcon) is an academic degree awarded to students who have completed undergraduate studies in economics. Specialized economics degrees are also offered as a "tagged" BA (Econ), BS (Econ) / BSc (Econ), BCom (Econ), and BSocSc (Econ), or variants such as the "Bachelor of Economic Science".
These degrees typically encompass a broad range of topics in the field of economics, including microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, economic history, and international economics. The program aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of economic theories, principles, and models, as well as their application in analyzing real-world economic issues. The curriculum is then (substantially) more theoretical and mathematical than the major in economics available generally (BBA, general BCom or BA).
Graduates often pursue careers in economic analysis, policy development, finance, and business consulting, or continue their studies in graduate programs.
