Mission Statement
The mission of the Department of Economics at The University of Texas at San Antonio is to offer courses and degree programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels that provide students with the opportunity to gain the necessary theoretical and quantitative tools in economics such that they can understand and apply economics in their daily lives, seek advanced degrees in economics, pursue careers in the global marketplace, and engage in public policy-making. It is also the mission of the Department to provide an environment for its faculty and students to engage in research that will further the understanding of economics and enhance the reputation of the Department, the Carlos Alvarez College of Business, and the University.
The Department of Economics offers both a Bachelor of Science degree and a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Economics. Economics is a highly versatile major that assists students in pursuing a variety of careers, including positions in business, the public sector, the legal field, and politics, where knowledge of economics is a fundamental asset. The department also offers a minor in economics that is open to all majors in the University.

Recommendations
To facilitate adequate advising, students with an interest in pursuing graduate education in Economics or Finance, particularly a Ph.D., are strongly recommended to inform the chair of the Economics department as soon as possible, ideally by the Fall of the Third Year.
To help satisfy the Free Electives requirement, students are recommended (but not required) to complete a minor or one of the Focus Options listed in the tables below. Please note that previously earned credits may already satisfy some or all of the Free Elective hours needed for the degree, so coursework taken toward completion of a minor or focus option could exceed the minimum requirements.
Focus Options
A Focus Option is not a formal designation or credential. It is a pathway of courses connected by a theme, to support the degree planning of a student. One or more Focus Options may be pursued to help satisfy the Free Electives requirement. Completion of a Focus Option will not be noted on the transcript or diploma. If applicable, a course appearing under a Focus Option may be counted toward the Major or Support Work requirements instead of the Free Elective requirement. Completion of a Focus Option may or may not exhaust the semester credit hours available for free electives, depending on the completion of Core Curriculum Coursework.

Accelerated Master of Science in Economics
The Department of Economics offers an Accelerated Economics Program tailored to UT San Antonio students who demonstrate exceptional motivation and qualifications and aspire to develop marketable skills in data-centric economic analysis and decision-making. Designed to facilitate a seamless transition into the Master of Science program and provide an expedited admission process, this program allows participants to initiate their graduate studies as early as the senior year of their undergraduate education.
The benefit of the accelerated program is it allows students to complete some graduate courses while still earning their undergraduate degree. In addition, students have the potential to reduce their time until graduation (e.g., students can start completing their graduate-level coursework during their senior year) and save money (e.g., students are not charged an application fee and potentially could double count one course); the program also creates an easier transition into graduate school (i.e., a known admission into graduate school while in their undergraduate education and a constant connection with UT San Antonio faculty and staff).
Program Admission Requirements
An individual seeking admission into the Accelerated Program in Economics must meet the following minimum requirements: 1) be a current UT San Antonio student enrolled in a bachelor's degree program, 2) complete 90 semester credit hours in their bachelor's degree program by the end of the semester of application, and 3) have an overall university grade point average of 3.0 or higher.
A free application must be completed and submitted online. If the applicant meets the minimum requirements for admission, they will be contacted for a meeting to review the applicant file, to provide the undergraduate degree plan expected of the applicant if admitted to the accelerated program, and to discuss the expectations of the program for eventual admission into graduate student status, which will include completion of the requirements for the applicant's undergraduate degree.
Applicants may be enrolled in any bachelor's degree program at UT San Antonio. However, applicants pursuing a business degree, a STEM degree, a social science degree, or a public administration degree are likely to meet the Foundation Requirements of the master's program in Economics by the time of completion of the applicant's undergraduate degree.
Degree Requirements
Bachelor's Degree Requirements
Students accepted into the Accelerated Program in Economics are required to complete all the degree requirements associated with their bachelor's degree.
Master of Science Degree Requirements
Students accepted into the Accelerated Program in Economics are required to complete the standard degree requirement of the Master's in Economics.
Bachelor's/Master of Science Classification
Upon acceptance into the Accelerated Program in Economics, students are granted permission to enroll in graduate-level courses while still classified as undergraduates. Upon completing their bachelor's degree, students will receive a Keep Running with Us (KRWU) application to transition from undergraduate to graduate student status.
Minor in Economics
The Minor in Economics is open to all majors in the University. All students pursuing the Minor in Economics must complete 18 semester credit hours.
Course List | Code | Title | Credit Hours |
