The program leading to an Associate of Science degree with an emphasis in Economics is designed for students planning to transfer to Oregon State University’s College of Liberal Arts to complete a baccalaureate degree in Economics. It is important that students check with the Economics transfer curriculum advisor before enrolling in these classes.

OSU offers both Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Science (BS) degrees in Economics. The BA requires that students take two years (six terms) of a college-level foreign language. While this is not a requirement for the Associate of Science, it is highly recommended that you do this coursework during your time at LBCC, or after transfer using the Degree Partnership Program. The BS degree requires 15 additional credits in math, science, and computer science -- please talk with your advisor about ways to meet these requirements at LBCC.

Program Requirements

Students expecting to graduate in two years should have a strong interest in the economy. They should have sufficient skills in mathematics and writing to enroll in MTH 111 College Algebra and WR 121 English Composition.
