B.S. in Business Economics

BS-Business-Economics-Body_0224

Integrate business strategy with sound economic thinking.

Grove City College offers a business economics major that will equip you for a robust career in business administration, financial investment, risk analysis, market analysis, business law, statistics, or international business, among other multifaceted fields. Combining the best of our economics major with core business major courses, our business economics degree is rooted in the Austrian School tradition and examines human action and the benefits of free-market wealth generation. You will be supported by faculty who are serious about providing a Christian foundation for their discipline, and who will serve as guides both academically and spiritually throughout your four years here. As you explore a range of economic systems and apply economic theory to business strategies, you will develop a marketable skill set to thrive professionally and help society prosper.
