Business Economics
This major may be started at any campus and is completed only at Penn State Erie.

Business Economics is a quantitative program of study in applied economics with a strong business focus. Use of mainframe and microcomputers as analytical and problem solving tools is emphasized in the program's upper division courses. Students may choose upper division courses in several areas of specialization, including business cycles and forecasting, economic theory, international economics, labor economics, managerial economics, money and banking, and urban and regional economics. Economists are employed in virtually every type of business, including manufacturing, utilities, insurance, retailing, finance, and banking. Government at all levels is another major employer of economists.

The B.S. in Business Economics is offered by Penn State's Behrend College.
