Economics

The B.S. in Economics at Cal State East Bay offers students rigorous training in economic analysis, applied data-skills, and problem-solving. Our program equips students with analytical, quantitative, and programming skills to tackle real-world challenges: from business strategy and financial markets to public policy, international trade, and environmental sustainability.

Economics is the discipline of decision-making, which is one reason why so many CEOs and leaders in business, government, and tech have degrees in economics. Our students learn to think critically, weigh trade-offs, and make informed choices: skills that apply to both complex global issues and everyday life.

Our courses are offered in both Online and Hybrid modalities, allowing flexibility for working students and diverse learners.
