- B.S. in Economics
- The Department of Economics at Virginia Commonwealth University offers a major in either the School of Business or the College of Humanities and Sciences. Students frequently choose the major in the College of Humanities and Sciences when they are interested in careers in politics and public policy, law, or the news media. Students who want to combine training in economics with exposure to the business disciplines often find the major in the School of Business appealing.
