The BA in Economics, Option in Accounting is designed for students who want to
pursue a course of study emphasizing accounting. The study of accounting

effectively operate, manage and assess an organization and its various
activities. As strategic advisers and decision makers, accountants must be good
communicators who possess business knowledge and the capacity to make
inferences from relationships between business circumstances and economic and
