Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Economics - International Trade] From University of Central Arkansas

Economic and financial competence requires a basic knowledge of theories, principles, and techniques of analysis. Added to this basic knowledge should be the historical, institutional, and quantitative approaches within the disciplines. With these tools, supplemented by studies in related fields of mathematics, computer science, accounting, business, and social sciences, students will be able to formulate approaches to current economic and financial problems as they arise in their personal and professional lives.
