The Department of Economics and Finance is a multidisciplinary department with programs that lead to a B.B.A. degree with a major in economics and a B.B.A. degree with a major in finance.

The department’s programs are designed to give students the basic knowledge, skills, and values that build upon the foundation provided by the University Core Curriculum and are required for professional careers in business and government. Each program stresses the importance of critical thinking skills, effective oral and written communication, and the application of knowledge to solve business problems. Students majoring in economics or finance are able to gain work experience related to their major through internships, ENACTUS, and the VSU Co-op Program.
