Business Economics
School of Arts and Sciences
The program requirements pertain to the Undergraduate Catalog and are intended as a guide for academic planning. Students currently on SUNY campuses should consult their academic advisor for additional choices in general education categories when any course is recommended.
- To view all required courses for the program and Cortland’s General Education courses, see the most current undergraduate Catalog.
- Use the transfer equivalency tables to choose equivalents at your transfer college.
- Students can choose to add a concentration to this program. You can choose from International Business Economics, Human Resource Management, Financial Management, or Environmental Management. Only Bachelors of Arts (BA) students can add the International Business Economics concentration due to the increased foreign language requirement.
- If you plan to transfer before you complete your associate’s degree, you can still earn your degree via Reverse Transfer.
