Business Administration, Business Economics Major, B.S.


Requirements for the major in business economics


Major adviser: Ronald Tracy

The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a major in business economics combines studies of the basic functional areas of business with the analytical and quantitative methods of economics and therefore provides students with the ability to apply general concepts of economics to help solve managerial problems. This major prepares students for careers in business management or public administration, or for graduate study in business, economics or law.

A grade of C or better must be achieved in each prerequisite for an economics course before a business economics major, or any Oakland University student, may begin work in that economics course
