About the course

The BA/MA Program at Brandeis International Business School is an innovative five-year degree program that allows Brandeis undergraduates to earn their bachelor of arts or bachelor of science degree in economics plus a master of arts in international economics and finance. Starting in your senior year, you will be engaged and challenged by graduate-level faculty who are thought leaders in their field. You will be encouraged to pursue one of five tracks: applied economic analysis, data analytics, financial economics, marketing and real estate finance.

　　Economics ? the most popular major at Brandeis ? provides a lens through which we can better understand and improve our world.

　　Economics is the study of human choice and economic behavior. It helps explain the connections between individuals, institutions, and social outcomes. Whether you major or minor in economics, you will learn the general principles of economics, microeconomic and macroeconomic theory, statistics and econometrics, with an emphasis on analytic and quantitative approaches. Your economics degree will enable you to bring this knowledge to bear on a range of questions and challenges, such as economic development, income inequality, unemployment, inflation, and international trade.
