Online Economics

Description

The undergraduate economics program at NDSU strives to meet the needs of our students through an online offering of classes leading to a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) or a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in Economics. Classes are fully online and asynchronous, so they are accessible to students 24/7 from any location.

This online degree program is ideal for students who have earned some college credits and want to transfer some or all of their credits from a previous institution. North Dakota State University accepts transfer credits from many institutions. See a list of schools and courses here.

Degree Requirements

To complete the online B.A. or B.S. in Economics, students must complete 120 credits. This includes all University and major requirements. Of the 120 credits, at least 36 credits must be earned at NDSU, and a minimum of 36 credits in courses taken at the 300-400 level for degree completion.
