文学学士/文学经济学硕士

经济学是在市场和非市场环境下人类行为的科学。刻画经济学特征的严格而通用的科学方法很适合广泛的实际应用领域。经济学家定期将其分析方法应用于政府政策，国际贸易与金融，经济发展，投资组合管理和银行业等领域。但是，人们越来越多地将经济学视为对各种各样社会问题的重要见解，包括卫生保健提供和健康相关行为，法律，犯罪活动，环境和自然资源问题，政治活动，教育，市场营销和体育活动。几乎每个行业和政府机构都对经济学专业的学生进行了广泛而严格的培训，这说明了对他们的服务的巨大需求。经济学也为高级研究生学习提供了出色的准备。最近
The 5-year BA/MA program in economics allows qualified undergraduate students to take graduate level economic courses and count them towards their B.A. degree in economics. After completing the B.A. in economics, up to 12 graduate level ECON credits taken as an undergraduate student may be counted again towards the M.A. in Economics degree. This allows a student to complete both the B.A. and M.A. in economics in as few as five years. Students who decide not to pursue a M.A. degree in economics at CU Denver after earning a B.A. degree in economics retain their B.A. degree along with all other undergraduate credentials on their transcripts. <br>These degree requirements are subject to periodic revision by the academic department, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences reserves the right to make exceptions and substitutions as judged necessary in individual cases. Therefore, the College strongly urges students to consult regularly with their Economics faculty advisors and their CLAS Advisor to confirm the best plans of study before finalizing them.<br>Economics is the science of human behavior in market and non-market contexts. The rigorous and general scientific approach that characterizes economics lends itself to a remarkably wide field of practical application. Economists regularly apply their methods of analysis in fields such as government policy, international trade and finance, economic development, portfolio management and banking. But economics is increasingly seen as providing important insight into an enormous variety of social issues, including health care provision and health-related behaviors, law, criminal activity, environmental and natural resource problems, political activity, education, marketing and sports. The broad and rigorous training of economics majors accounts for the significant demand for their services in virtually every industry and government agency. Economics provides excellent preparation for advanced graduate study as well. Recent studies indicate that economics is a preferred undergraduate degree for those wishing to move on to prestigious business graduate programs and law schools.
