The department offers coursework for the degrees of Bachelor of Science with three different majors: agricultural business, business economics, and economics. A minor in agricultural business and a minor in economics are also possible. In addition, the department participates in four interdepartmental programs: international agriculture and global resources systems offered by the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and international studies and women's studies offered by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. For further discussion of programs in agricultural business, see the statement below under College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

Graduates of the Department of Economics learn skills that distinguish them from other graduates. Economics teaches the abilities to think and reason clearly, to address complex issues using tools and decision-making models of economics, mathematics, and statistics, as well as concepts from the biological, physical, and social sciences. The study of Economics also helps students develop understanding of the interaction of technology, human activity, and the environment, learn to apply economic and business concepts associated with making optimal choices among economic alternatives, and communicate them, using a variety of means, to other professionals, collective organizations, governments, and the general public.
