The B.B.A. in economics emphasizes the economic foundations of business fields—accounting, finance, marketing, business law, and management. Students majoring in economics choose one of two tracks: business or policy.

Students complete two sets of requirements for the major: economic theory courses that provide the tools needed for analyzing economic issues; and field courses that apply economic tools to business, social, or specialized analytical issues. The applied field course requirement varies, depending on a student's choice of track.

The Bachelor of Business Administration with a major in economics requires a minimum of 120 s.h. of course work, including 18 s.h. of course work for the major. To graduate, students must have a cumulative g.p.a. of at least 2.00 in all college course work attempted, all course work attempted at the University of Iowa, all college business course work attempted, all business course work attempted at the University of Iowa, all college economics course work attempted, and all economics course work attempted at the University of Iowa.

The Bachelor of Business Administration degree provides an excellent educational background for a variety of positions in business and government. Graduates find employment in banking, financial institutions, industrial firms, and trade organizations and in federal, state, and local government agencies dealing with economic policy, regulation, and analysis. An undergraduate degree in economics also prepares students for the study of law and for graduate study in fields such as economics, business management, public administration, hospital and health administration, urban and regional planning, transportation, journalism, political science, and statistics.

Over 90 percent of students reported that they found permanent employment, were accepted to graduate school, or were not seeking employment within six months of graduation.
