BA/BS in Economics

San Francisco State offers a bachelor's degree in economics that equips students to analyze economic questions and prepares them for work or further study in related fields. The undergraduate curriculum is intended as solid groundwork for people planning careers that rely on understanding how markets, policy and economic decisions operate. Details about specific courses, concentrations, prerequisites and graduation requirements are published in the San Francisco State University Bulletin, and the department can answer questions about them. Prospective students should read the bulletin entry for current requirements and learning outcomes, then speak with a departmental advisor when planning a course sequence and application. Advising is particularly useful because elective offerings change from term to term and requirements can be updated between catalog years.
