Economics in Arts or Business?

<p>The economics major in the business college requires you to complete core courses in business. The economics major in the college of A&S requires the gen ed requirements for that college. As the previous poster mentioned, the A&S econ major is better to combine with other fields or as prep for grad study in econ.
On this webpage [Undergraduate</a> Degrees - Department of Economics - Warrington College of Business Administration](<a href=“http://warrington.ufl.edu/eco/programs/undergrad/]Undergraduate”>http://warrington.ufl.edu/eco/programs/undergrad/) look for the .pdf document, “Economics as a Major”; it explains the differences.</p>

<p>The Ag College also offers a major in food & resource economics with specialty options in natural resources/environmental economics & policy or international food & resource economics. You would still complete core economics courses plus some ag and business-focused courses. If you are interested in the business or policy aspects of these areas, it would be a good choice. It’s also appropriate for certain areas of international economics or economic development.
