The BA in Economics, Option in Social Science Economics is designed for
students who want to study Economics from a liberal arts, political science,
sociology, or historical perspective. Economics (originally called Political
Economy) is one of the oldest social sciences. The social and political impact
of economists such as Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Karl Marx, Fredrick Hayek,
John Maynard Keynes, and Milton Friedman are unequalled. The Option in Social
Science Economics combines this rich tradition with the excellent employment
opportunities that an Economics Degree accords. The Option in Social Science
Economics provides a rigorous study of Economics in a reduced-math and
concept-oriented format. It is also a very flexible option that allows students
to take electives in other social sciences.
