The Economics, B.A degree is designed to prepare students to understand and participate in this complex economic world. Economic majors study current economic events and analyze the basis for economic problems and policies. They learn that economics is basically not a technical skill but a way of thinking that enables them to approach many diverse problems and issues in a logical and orderly manner.

The State University of New York at Fredonia is committed to doing our part to provide each student a clear path to graduation. This four-year degree plan is a sample map for fulfilling requirements in the major, the Fredonia Foundations (FF), and other supporting courses. The pathway that you take to your degree may differ somewhat from this illustration, depending on where you start and the detours and side trips you may take along the way. If you are committed to completing your degree in four years, we encourage you to consider signing up for the Fredonia in 4 program.
