Frequently Asked Questions
Should I study economics or finance?
Finance and economics are two fields that have much in common and often interact with each other. But they do have important differences that you’ll want to understand, so that you can pick the right degree to match your interests and career goals!
Economics is a broad field that analyzes how goods and services flow throughout an entire region or market. This degree can prepare you for a career in many industries, including business, government, and public policy. In contrast, finance is a subset of economics that focuses on money, banking, and investments within a particular company or industry. Finance majors tend to work mainly in the world of business.
Finance and economics degrees can both lead to exciting job opportunities, and Liberty offers both cognates within our BSBA program!
Does this program have any additional accreditation?
Liberty University’s BSBA is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP). Our School of Business is among only 3% of business schools worldwide to earn ACBSP accreditation, and having an ACBSP-accredited degree may give you a competitive advantage in the job market and help you stand out to employers.
