BA vs BBA in Economics?
Without more specifics about the exact programs, it can be hard to determine which is best. In my undergraduate experience, a BBA was essentially a degree in Economics with a minor in Business, while a BA was a degree in Economics, and you chose your own minor. For an MBA, the BBA would probably give you a background in all the types of things you would be studying in the future, and set you up for a much easier time for your graduate education, so the BBA might be the degree that would best prepare you. A master's in economics probably has a little bit less breadth, and a bit more emphasis on math and programming, so you might be served better with the BA and a minor in Math. Basically, if you want to use your time as an undergraduate to best prepare yourself for what is to come in your graduate education, you probably want to take the hardest classes you can. You don't want to start the first day of graduate school feeling like you're already behind.
Is a BBA more valuable than a degree in economics?
Well, lets use the tired convention of pay. BBA: 33,360 - $67,999 (f) ; 36,645 - $85,739 (m)Economics: 35,608 - $77,391 (f) ; 39,264 - $88,039 (m)At a glance, it seem that economics degree is more highly valued in the economy. Bear in mind that there is a high degree of overlap, so it really depend on the choice of occupation.Note that the year experience, both started out roughly the same, but economic has a slightly steeper slope. This suggest that it has slightly more open ended job.However, if we look at the absolute number of people polled, you could see that there are lesser economics major. This might imply that looking for a job would be harder/longer. The time spend looking for a suitable match is not reflected and some may choose to switch degree/career.The type of work involved is also different. BBA tend to focus on HR, Accounts, Project management - and in private company. While Economics focus on CFA, securities analysis, insurances - and in government agencies. Which is better? Well it is tough to say, rather it depends on your attitudes. Business Degree Salaries, B.S. in Business AdministrationBachelor's Degree, Economics Degree Salary, Average Salaries
What can you do with a B.A. in Economics?
What employers will see is that you have a bachelor's in Economics. Absolutely no one will ever care exactly what kind of "B_" in Economics it is. It doesn't matter whether it's a BA, a BS, or a BBA (mine was called a BSBA). You may or may not have success finding a job as an Econ major, but the trivia about the degree title does not matter and never will. What matters is the level of degree you have, and the major. As for what jobs -- first it would be wise to get in the habit of checking sites like monster.com and careerbuilder.com. Not so much to find jobs that demand someone specifically with a degree in Economics ... you won't find many of those. But Imagine you are a new grad with an Econ degree, and see what kind of jobs you might find that don't require something ELSE (like a degree in finance or accounting). An Econ major is probably going to be an analytical person, and so a ripe candidate for a range of "analyst" jobs. Some job titles you might see are business analyst, data analyst, marketing analyst, market research analyst, risk analyst, etc. Possibly financial analyst -- they usually seem to require a degree in finance, but some Econ majors get into that. There are also a lot of jobs in business open to generalists -- they want a college grad, and business sense helps, but the major doesn't really matter. E.g., jobs in marketing, project management, even PR/Communications if you can write and have the personality for it. And Lord knows, SALES. You can be a 1st grade dropout and get any number of sales jobs. What I DO recommend is you become as expert as you can in all Microsoft Office apps, especially Excel and Access. In an analytical career it would also be helpful to learn such things as SQL, SAS, and SAP. Any technical, computer information systems expertise helps -- might be wise to study some of that.
Can I do an MA in economics (Hons.) after doing a BBA? Which colleges accept BBA graduates for a major in economics?
Of course! Major Colleges generally conduct an entrance test to admit students into their Masters Program in Economics.

Here are the few top colleges that I know, which admit the students in this way - - Delhi School of Economics- SRCC- St. Stephens- JNU- Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research- Madras School of Economics- Indian Statistical Institute
Scope-wise, which course is better, a BBA or a BA in economics honours, and why?
In my opinion BA hons in economics is comparatively much better than BBA. As such degree in BBA has nothing much to offer for better job perspective.In my view a graduate of subject from b com, economics, BSC, engineering after MBA will be more promising than a guy who has come from BBA background.Economics has got vast potential, it is common link to understand finance, business and commerce related study. I have seen engineering graduate executing post graduation and ph d in economics and doing very well in life.After graduation you can join premium institute like IGRDI Mumbai for post graduation in economics, you can continue higher studies there after and it also offers multiple option for career in various field.My suggestion do BA in eco and if possible go abroad for higher studies in economics. London and USA are the recommended destination for economics study.It is very analytical and very relevant subject and any time now days considered better than engineering degree.
Is Economics a good major?
Its one of the top most demanded B.A's after business. Generally economics majors gives you strong analytic background, which is highly valued. Honestly though if you want to be employed the best thing you can do always is study math along with your economics. You can't do grad school in a decent econ program with out a crap ton of math, the same amount of math in any engineerining curriculum. If you can do math, its very easy to retrain into a lot of careers since it provides good background for a lot of things. A typical economics major requires a course on statistics and regression analysis (whats called economometrics) and calculus I & II (single variable differential& integral calculus). If I were you I'd take multivariable Calculus, Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra, Partial & Ordinary differential equations, and a course on proofs. Doing that will let you easily retrain in to many fields including engineering and comp sci which is always high in demand. It also generally keeps you valuable. The other thing you could do is study commonly used languages particularly east asian languages. Being profecient in Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin, German or Hindi will be a quite useful skill to have if you want to say explore a career in consulting ect.
Is Economics / Applied Economics a good major?
I am a high school student who is currently in the IB program in Florida. I was wondering if Economics or Applied Economics [Applied is offered at FSU] would be a good major. I haven't taken a formal class in Economics because I am in the IB program. My school only offers economics as a requirement for non - IB seniors. However, I have garnered a good amount of interest in the subject from books, journals, news, and magazines like The Economist. I am not sure what I want to do for a career specifically, but I know I want to do something in that field. I want to major in Economics and minor in either Stats or Computer Science in order to enhance my quantitative skills. Is Economics a lucrative major for finding a well - paying job in this current market? Also, I plan on pursuing a masters degree after a few years of work experience. Thanks.

Which degree is better for becoming a finance analyst, BBA in Finance or BA in Economics?
Both degrees are great to get an understand for the basics of the fields. Economics will provide a high level analysis of resources allocation problems and finance will provide a narrower application of economics towards financial markets and corporate finance. Here corporate finance is essentially capital resource allocation problems within companies.I studied economics as I enjoy learning a broad set of tools that can be applied to a wide array of industries (finance included). So, if you want a degree that opens the door for many different carrier paths economics may be the way to go. I want to emphasize that most undergraduate curriculums are not very intensive at teaching either subject (or any subject?) and that if you really want to study the details of things you will need to pursue graduate studies or your own personal research outside of the classroom (that’s where the real knowledge is). You will find that economics and finance are highly technical fields of study and the fields seem to be moving towards strong integration with computational fields of study like computer science and machine learning (applied statistics with some cs). So, I highly recommend you start improving your skills in mathematics, logic, statistics, and programming those skills will help you in essentially any field you wish to work in.Check out my app if you’re interested in quantitative finance: Overview | Clairvoyant
