Online Bachelor of Science in Economics – Liberal Arts

This program blends the art and science of economics, equipping you with an understanding of how individuals, businesses and governments make decisions. Through economics courses, you’ll develop practical and analytical skills and learn how to use statistical tools. You’ll also explore micro- and macroeconomic theory and gain knowledge in areas such as:

  • Forecasting in business and institutional settings.
  • International, financial and development economics.
  • Regression analysis and other statistical techniques.
  • Theories of exchange and production.

Beyond economics courses, you’ll have the flexibility to take electives across diverse disciplines. Since economics applies to all industries, building expertise in multiple areas can give you a competitive edge. Your skills in quantitative analysis, critical thinking and communication will also ensure you’re a well-rounded graduate.

How this program compares to our business economics degree

This program focused on liberal arts shares the same economics curriculum as our business bachelor’s in economics. Both emphasize how society responds to scarcity and focus on quantitative methods to draw conclusions. In either program, you’ll also develop data analysis, market analysis and critical thinking skills.

The primary difference lies in the courses outside of economics. In our business program, you’ll build a solid foundation in accounting, finance, management, marketing and supply chain management. In contrast, this degree combines the analytical rigor of an economics degree with the breadth of a liberal arts education. No matter which you choose, you’ll graduate prepared for roles across sectors or advanced studies in business, law and more.

Online Bachelor of Science in Economics – Business

This program integrates a core business curriculum with the study of economics as a social science. Business courses include accounting, finance, management, marketing, supply chain management and data analytics. Building off this foundation, you’ll delve into micro- and macroeconomic theory, applying these theories to practical problems through statistical analysis.

Additionally, you’ll develop skills to model economic phenomena using algebra, calculus and statistics. You’ll also explore topics ranging from pricing strategy and cost-benefit analysis to environmental policy impact and international exchange rates. Elective courses allow you to explore specialized areas, such as international, financial, labor and development economics.

How this program compares to our liberal arts economics degree

ASU’s online business and liberal arts economics programs both explore how society deals with scarcity and require mathematical and statistical aptitude. However, the program you choose will depend on your interests and career goals.

This online business economics degree is ideal if you’re interested in career paths that draw from practical business knowledge, especially economic theory. As a graduate, you’ll be well-prepared for positions within banking and finance, government, public policy and other fields that demand analytical and quantitative skills.

Alternatively, you may pursue ASU’s liberal arts economics degree online if you’re passionate about economics, but want more flexibility in elective courses. While the economics curriculum is identical, you do not need to complete the business core. This program is a great option if you want to combine economics studies with another field in preparation to work in law, government, politics and more.

Online Bachelor of Arts in Business – Corporate Accounting

Corporate accounting is a specialized branch of accounting that focuses on the financial management and reporting of a business or corporation. This is an essential function for any business because it provides the foundation for informed decision-making and financial accountability. Key responsibilities of corporate accounting include:

  • Analyzing financial information
  • Generating reports
  • Planning and updating budgets
  • Preparing and maintaining records
  • Presenting financial research to stakeholders

Additionally, corporate accounting professionals can use their knowledge to offer insight on potential financial issues or opportunities within the company. The coursework for this program combines a core business curriculum with lower- and higher-level managerial accounting courses for a well-rounded education upon graduation.

What you’ll learn in this corporate accounting degree concentration

This program provides an overview of business fundamentals with a focus on analysis and decision-making based on financial information. All of these skills are foundational and enduring needs for every company. As a graduate, you can compete for positions that leverage accounting and provide valuable input about a company’s direction.

Who’s a good candidate for this program?

Good candidates for this program include students looking to enter the business world armed with expertise in various aspects of accounting, including financial reporting, cost accounting, taxation and others. This program also prepares you with the knowledge and competencies needed to put the following credentials within reach:

  • Certified management accountant (CMA).
  • Chartered global management accountant (CGMA).

Please note: This corporate accounting degree concentration focuses on the needs of businesses and isn’t a direct path to becoming a certified public accountant (CPA). If you’re specifically interested in becoming a public accountant, the Bachelor of Science in accountancy program is highly recommended, as that program will get you much closer to meeting CPA requirements.

Online Bachelor of Science in Business Data Analytics

Data analytics is essential for business as it involves extracting insights from data to inform decision-making. While this concept is straightforward, the tools and processes used to gather insights from raw data are often advanced. This program equips you to leverage automated digital tools to manage and transform raw data into clear, actionable information.

As a professional, you'll interpret data patterns, group related findings and turn results into practical recommendations. This can help your company generate reports on inefficiencies, identify key trends, guide the development of new products and services and track important performance metrics.

The knowledge and skills you’ll develop

Throughout this program, you’ll gain essential knowledge and skills needed to manage and execute big data initiatives. By exploring data warehousing, dimensional modeling, big data analytics methods and more, you’ll build both organizational and technical competencies, including asset analysis, data cleansing, gathering, integration and modeling.

Additionally, this bachelor’s degree can be completed as part of an Accelerated Master’s program. When accepted, you can earn a master’s degree in as little as one year after completing your undergraduate degree. This opportunity saves you time and money while giving you advanced knowledge in your field. Applicable master’s degrees include:

How does this program compare to a data science degree?

While both data science and business data analytics involve analyzing data, they cater to different goals and skill sets. ASU’s online Bachelor of Science in data science emphasizes advanced statistical techniques, programming and machine learning to extract insights from complex datasets and build predictive models.

In contrast, this business data analytics program is tailored to solving specific business problems. It focuses on using data to make strategic decisions, improve processes and drive growth, often through business intelligence tools and dashboards.

Online Master of Science in Business Analytics

In this master’s in data analytics program, you’ll learn how to derive value from data and modeling, lead data-driven analyses and create impactful business advantages for organizations. The curriculum focuses on data at rest, which means you’ll have large amounts of data to manipulate, dissect, analyze and measure before it goes back into motion. Graduates are prepared to translate data into a story that leadership can use to gain a competitive advantage. Transferable skills you’ll develop include:

  • Data mining and visualization.
  • Data modeling.
  • Machine learning.
  • Marketing and predictive analytics.

Additionally, courses incorporate popular programming languages, such as Python, SPSS and SQL. You’ll also gain exposure to common software you’ll use in the business analytics field, including @Risk, Palisades, Decision, Suite Tableau and AzureML. As tools and languages gain and lose popularity, the curriculum is updated to align with what employers are looking for when filling their analytics roles.

Who’s a good candidate for this MSBA?

Ideal candidates will be interested in using data and quantitative understanding to drive business decisions. Your previous academic or professional experience in STEM-related, analytical or technical work will support your success in this program. While prerequisites aren’t required to be admitted, having foundational knowledge in calculus, statistics and coding will help prepare you for the rigors of the curriculum.

Please note that a STEM background is not required to be admitted to the program. However, you’ll likely need to spend additional effort to learn the quantitative and IT programming knowledge that accompanies the curriculum.
