Students seeking the Bachelor of Arts in Economics meet the College

numbered 410 or above.
This is one of three programs Miami offers in economics. Another
is business-economics in the School of Business Administration.
The same core of economics courses is required for both majors;
the difference is the divisional requirements. You should choose
this program if you are interested in a liberal arts background in
addition to your major. The third major is the Bachelor of Science in
Quantitative Economics described below.
Mathematics and statistics beyond the minimum requirement is
recommended if you are considering graduate school in economics.
