经济学文学学士

文学士学位适用于那些需要与经济史联系的人，但是，杜克大学经济学院强烈建议学生攻读文学士学位，因为它是面向数量的，为打算从事商业和金融服务职业的学生提供了最佳准备或通过MBA或其他研究生课程深造。经济学的核心是研究资源管理和分配，但它也是理解世界和人类行为的一种方式。在杜克经济学院，我们认为，我们的本科生首先应将其教育视为在尽可能广泛的领域中扩展其思想的机会，并超越其近期的职业兴趣。我们的系提供一门文科课程，使学生不仅在学校而且在日常生活中为成功做好准备。
The B.A. degree is available to those who need to signal academic engagement with economic history, however, Duke Economics faculty strongly recommend that students pursue the B.S. degree because it is quantitatively oriented and gives the best preparation for students contemplating a career in business and financial services or furthering their education with an MBA or other graduate study. At its core, economics is the study of resource management and allocation, but it is also a way of understanding the world and human behavior. At Duke Economics, we believe that our undergraduates should first and foremost view their education as an opportunity to further their thinking in as broad a range of fields as possible, and beyond their immediate career interests. Our department offers a liberal arts curriculum that prepares students for success not only in school but also everyday life.
