BA/BS in Economics

Washington State University offers Economic Sciences online with a choice between a science degree and an arts degree, both administered by the university's agricultural and human sciences college. Each gives students a base in economic theory along with practical application. The science option leans toward quantitative and technical work, including advanced math and statistics, and suits students drawn to finance or analytics. The arts option offers more flexibility in how the major is shaped. Students can start in the spring, summer or fall term, with a separate application cutoff for each. Because every course is taught over the internet, students can pursue the degree without relocating to a campus. Prospective students can request information or apply directly from the program page, and should check the stated cutoff for the term they want before preparing an application.
