Business Economics Major

Why Choose a Business Economics Major at Salisbury University?

At SU, business economics majors go beyond the blackboard. Students are expected to take what they learn in the classroom and apply it to real problems. In their senior year, business economics students fulfill the Applied Business Learning Experience (ABLE) requirement, which can be met with an internship. Internships are normally completed off campus at a variety of business, government or nonprofit organizations, giving students real-world experience to prepare them for jobs upon graduation.

Because their problem-solving skills are useful in all sectors of the economy, students holding a business economics degree face more employment opportunities. Recent job placements testify to the importance of the skills students learn in our program. Our economics graduates have found positions in:

• Banking and finance at MBNA America Bank and Chase Manhattan Bank
• Companies such as Perdue Farms and Intel
• Government with Bureau of Labor and Statistics, U. S. Department of Defense and EPA
