Bachelor of Economics

A Bachelor of Economics (BEc or BEcon)^[1]^[2] 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".^[3]

These degrees typically encompasses 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, and their application in analyzing real-world economic issues. The curriculum is then^[2]^[1] substantially more theoretical and mathematical than the major in economics available generally (BBA, general BCom or BA).

Graduates often pursue careers in^[2]^[1] economic analysis, policy development, finance, and business consulting, or continue their studies in graduate programs.
