Taking Business Economics Courses at Booth
Chicago Booth offers a variety of courses for UChicago undergraduates who are specializing in business economics as part of the economics major.
Business economics courses are taught by the same Booth faculty who teach in our top-ranked MBA programs, and they feature the same rigorous approach to education. In our collaborative community, you’ll engage in spirited debate and build a strong foundation in core business principles.
