<p>ECLBA, ECLBS, and BA EC? I knew I wanted to be an econ major, but I'm not sure which one.</p>
<p>from my understanding,</p>
<p>ECBS is a math orientated econ. So you'll need Calc I, and at my school Calc II as well. Furthermore, you might need an Economic Statistics class. This is </p>
<p>ECBA is the bacheleor of arts version, prob for someone thinking more along the lines of policy, etc. For a job right out of college, or even grad school, (where you would need math) the ECBS is the better option, much better. IMO, ECBA is more along the lines of HS teaching, law school, etc.</p>
<p>then theres the BBA IN Econn (Bach of Business Administration with conencration in Econ) or something to that extent. THis is for the business side of econ, and im assuming is more on the micro-econ level, such as Average Cost, Average Total Cost, revenue, etc. There will probably be trhe same math requirtments or maybe a little less. Such as just Calc I, it depends where you're going to school..</p>
<p>All in all, if your planning grad school in econ, or going straight to working for a corporation, do the BS.</p>
<p>If your going straight to work, i'd do BBA In Econ.</p>
<p>Law school, teaching, BBA.</p>
<p>IMO again, BBA is useless. Hope I helped</p>
<p>You helped a bit, but you also made me confused. Are you saying that ECBA is useless or BBA is useless? Wait, so if I wanted to go straight to work, I should go for an ECBS or a BBA? Is there any more econ degrees out there?</p>
<p>IN MY OPINION, unless you plan on law school, or teaching HS, etc. at ECBA is USELESS... There isnt much math and it's a weak curriculum...</p>
<p>IF your school offers a BBA and you plan on working for a corporation, then thats probably the best fit for you. It's probably the same or slightly better then a ECBS in terms of businesses. </p>
<p>Your school will most likely offfer ECBS, and thats much better then ECBA due to the math and it makes you think quantitively. Economics is very theoritical in nature. The ECBS is probably better then BBA if you plan on going to graduate school in econ. YOu can message me if you need more info.</p>

<p>hmm I dunno if this is true because my school (UCLA) only offers BA in Econ, and the program requires at least Calculus II and a course in Applied Statistics to even be considered for any Econ major. I wouldn't say that's "weak in math"...</p>
<p>Two calculus courses and one statistics course is still weak in math.</p>
<p>Well then can you tell me the curriculum for Econ B.S. program?
Provide me with a link.
As far as I'm concerned, most schools offer B.A. in Econ, so I just need some examples of program that offers B.S.</p>
<p>ok I just checked on 4 different colleges that offer both B.A. and B.S. in econ.
The thing I found out was... it wasn't the difference in math courses that differentiate B.A. from B.S... Both programs required at least up to two courses of Calculus and one course in Statistics (yes, even for B.S., they required no more than than these with exception of some schools, which requires one additional course in Calc).</p>
<p>However, B.S. was more applied with the real life business concept (etc. Finance) whereas B.A. was purely theoretical studies. So yeah, but it has nothing to do with amount of math courses you take. You can take lot more math-related econ courses in B.A. than B.S. (i.e. Econometrics, which requires at least up to Linear Algebra and higher level Statistics).</p>
<p>well idk what school your going to, or what you know of econ, </p>
<p>but with exception to a couple of courses its all theoritcal</p>
<p>To most people outside the University, it makes little difference whether a bachelor's degree in Economics is called B.A. or B.S. In many colleges and universities only one degree program is available – usually the B.A. In some schools that offer both degrees there is virtually no difference between the requirements for the two, while in others the B.S. requires substantially more coursework in mathematics, economics, or computer science.</p>
<p>At Albany, for students matriculating Fall 2005 or later, the (new) B.S. program requires more study of calculus, econometrics, and advanced economics than does the B.A. For students matriculating before Fall 2005, the B.S. program requires more mathematics than the B.A., and the B.S. restricts the selection of the minor.</p>
<p>Most Economics majors choose the B.A. program, which provides a good background for students who plan to begin jobs and careers immediately after graduation. The (new) B.S. program is designed for students who seek a more challenging and rigorous academic program, and it is well suited for those who plan to go on to graduate school or professional study – especially in technical fields such as economics or management science.</p>
<p>Students who are studying Economics as their second major will receive a B.A. or B.S. according to the program and requirements they meet in their first major. Thus, for example, students whose first major is the B.A. program in Mathematics will receive a B.A. degree from the University regardless of whether they choose the B.A. or B.S. program in Economics</p>
<p>I;d like to see where your getting ytou rinfo from</p>
