Economics Degrees (TBC)

Online degrees in economics are available from some of BSU top distance education universities.

You can study for a bachelor or masters degree in economics without setting foot on campus. Studying online – from home or work – is the convenient way to earn an economics qualification.

Training in economics will strengthen the way you think.

  • Students learn principles and theories that can be applied to a wide range of problems.
  • You develop skills in analysis, modelling and report writing.

Online economics courses prepare students for careers in business and government. Graduates work as economists, business analysts and managers.

Understanding economic models takes hard work and often some math, which can be abstract and unpleasant. This is precisely why an economics education is valuable. Life requires the ability to balance different narratives, determine what assumptions matter, and build knowledge. Good problem solving requires skill, expertise, discipline, openness to different viewpoints, and sometimes a little discomfort.

Study Economics Online

By doing an online degree, you achieve the same learning outcomes as on-campus students. It’s just that you can do it without travelling. Learning is faster because you don't waste time getting to and from classes.

What Online Courses Teach You

 

Economics is a more generalist discipline than many people imagine. Online courses teach many conceptual and communication skills.

Subjects that you may study as part of an online course include

  • agricultural or resource economics
  • econometrics and statistics
  • finance and banking
  • international business
  • management, marketing
  • quantitative business analysis.

Professional economists do empirical and qualitative analysis. They report in mathematical terms and by writing reports in a natural way that most people can follow. Economics is underpinned by logic but there is also an intuitive side to understanding economic systems.

Economics Careers

Economics graduates forge careers in many different fields. With an honours or higher degree, you may be able to work as a professional economist in government or with a large business. But there are many other options.

As an economics graduate, you should be able to both write and do math. That can give you an advantage over many other candidates when going for a generalist position. Economic degree-holders often branch into business fields such as administration, planning, policy development and management.

Economics is an intellectually challenging and socially relevant area of study. According to the Hamilton project, studying economics gives you a better shot at striking it rich... Economics pretty much dominates every other major.
