Studying Business Economics at Weber State

Weber State’s business & economics major will help you understand our national economy and develop the critical thinking skills to solve problems in the business world.

Business Economics Highlights

In Weber State’s business & economics major, you’ll develop strong connections with your professors and fellow students. You’ll share classes with peers who have already won awards for their research, and learn from instructors celebrated for their professional contributions to the field and their outstanding work as mentors to their students.

Weber’s John B. Goddard School of Business & Economics is accredited by AACSB International, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. This distinction is held by fewer than 6% of all business schools.

Beyond the Classroom

As a business & economics major, you’ll conduct comprehensive research with direct faculty interaction. You will have the opportunity to publish and present your work at conferences like the Utah Conference on Undergraduate Research and National Conference on Undergraduate Research.

What You’ll LEARN at Weber

This degree will give you a balanced knowledge of both economics and business skills. It is one of the best preparation degrees for transitioning to a Master’s of Business Administration, such as Weber State’s MBA program.

You will also become skilled in work involving data and gain knowledge and skills in fundamental areas like microeconomics and macroeconomics, managerial economics, communication and more.

What You CAN DO After Weber

Work as an analyst, researcher, consultant, banker, asset manager, financial advisor or in a variety of other careers. You will also be prepared for advanced work toward an MBA or a career in corporate law. If you have questions, contact a WSU Career Advisor.

Faculty Perspective

As economics chair, my goal is to make our department a place where students can join together with faculty to learn economics, engage in research opportunities, be creative and achieve their career dreams.
