Economics Department, Miller College of Business, Ball State University

A major that pays dividends
The ability to understand and apply the principles of economics is at the core of success in the business and financial world. But many other opportunities also await those in economics—the study of the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services, and how they affect people's lives. Economics is an excellent entrée into careers in government and academics, and many consider it to be the best degree to prepare students for law school.

Options for majors and double majors
As a Ball State economics major, you may choose from three options tailored toward your career goals: business, financial analyst, and liberal arts. In addition, we offer prime opportunities for double majors, including our mathematical economics interdepartmental major.

Economics for everyone
Majors and non-majors alike benefit from the strength of our economics program. Small classes taught by full-time professors provide a supportive learning environment for a rigorous course of study that will help you achieve professional success, meet your personal and financial objectives, and make a difference as an informed citizen.
