Bush majored in economics. Economics gives the student the tool set and the methods of analysis to study many important topics such as economic growth and development, health care, the environment, energy, social security, and the tax system. In addition to being applied to the problems of society, economics is central to many business areas. The foundation built in economics is the reason why undergraduates in economics earn the highest lifetime salary among non-medical/engineering undergraduate majors. It is also the reason why Economics ranks Number One among 14 majors with more than 2000 students taking the LSAT!! Economists work for governments, businesses and international organizations in very lucrative and critical positions. They use and develop statistics and forecasts and often take a quantitative approach. BBA program in Finance: Both large and small businesses and governments must have leaders who make sound financial decisions. An undergraduate major in finance will provide students with the skills necessary to assist businesses, governments and households in their financial decisions. It offers a “mouth watering” blend of economic methods, quantitative skills and industry/occupation specific knowledge and skills. Finance majors have consistently been among the highest paid in starting salary. In such cities as Atlanta and in the nation as a whole, finance majors can expect to find excellent employment opportunities. Only a finance major can get foot into many excellent career opportunities since the major provides a range of specific knowledge and skills that are necessary to perform effectively in the financial sector. Lucrative and exciting opportunities for finance majors are often found in large corporations, small businesses, banks, brokerage firms, insurance companies, real estate firms and many more.
