Program Overview

UVM Economics offers bachelor of arts (B.A.) and bachelor of science (B.S.) tracks. If using an analytical approach to explain social phenomena is attractive to you, then the B.A. may be your best choice. If you gravitate to rigorous courses in mathematics and science, the B.S. may be a better fit.

Who should consider the B.S.?

Students who:

• Want more credits in economics rather than a second major or more than one minor.
• Want to take additional calculus and linear algebra.
• Definitely want to take ECON 3500 Econometrics.
• Are beginning the program “early” and can comfortably complete all the requirements.

Regardless of whether you choose the B.A. or B.S. curriculum you choose, the basic structure of the program is quite similar.

I gained a diverse skill set— including analytical, statistical, and computer knowledge, as well as independent researching and deductive reasoning."
