Department of Economics website

Economics is fundamentally about developing strong reasoning skills that support effective decision-making. The discipline offers a powerful framework for understanding how firms, consumers, and governments make choices and interact with one another. Economists apply these tools to address business and societal challenges — helping organizations become more profitable, efficient, and sustainable, while improving quality of life more broadly. Because the economics toolkit overlaps with many other business disciplines, students can pair Economics with other majors to tailor their education to their interests and career goals. Economics majors develop a strong foundation in theory alongside analytical and quantitative skills, preparing them for a wide range of careers in business, government, and the nonprofit sector. The Milwaukee metropolitan area further enhances these opportunities by providing access to internships and careers with leading firms, government agencies, and organizations. In addition, the department offers distinctive experiential learning opportunities, such as the Regulatory Economics program and the Fed Challenge program, which give students hands-on experience engaging with real-world economic policy.

If a course is taken to complete the Business Ethics, Core Enhancement and Analytics structured electives, it can fulfill both the business core and a major requirement/elective if eligible (not upper division business elective). Additional credits may be required to meet credit requirements for graduation if a structured elective is used to fulfill two academic areas.

• A minimum GPA of 2.000 must be earned in all courses taken at Marquette University.
  • A minimum GPA of 2.000 must be earned in all College of Business Administration courses taken at Marquette University (2.500 for accounting majors). A grade of C or higher must be earned in each of a student’s major requirements and electives, including the core courses introducing the major. If a student is a single business major, any course used for upper division business electives will also count towards the single major's GPA. Any courses taken in a major but counting towards other areas of a graduation checklist, ex. General Electives, will not count towards major GPA.
• At least one International Business elective must be completed.
• Students may declare and complete no more than three different business majors.
• The College of Business Administration follows the university's residency requirement policy to define credits that must be completed at Marquette University.
• On occasion, seniors are required to take a comprehensive examination testing their grasp of the concepts, principles and relations covered in the core business courses. A similar test might be given in any one of the majors.
• If students have 124 or more credits; an overall GPA of 2.000 or higher; a Business GPA of 2.000 or higher (2.500 for accounting majors); have satisfied all degree requirements; however, do not achieve a C or better in each of their major courses including the core course introducing the major, students are conferred a B.S. in Business Administration degree with a major in business administration (if the business administration major GPA is 2.000 or higher). If students meet the overall and college minimum GPA and complete enough credits, but while attempting two or more majors, achieve a C or better in all courses for one major but not in another major, students are conferred a B.S. in Business Administration degree with a major in the former but not the latter.
• It is the candidate’s responsibility to meet all university academic, financial and administrative requirements and procedures as outlined elsewhere in this bulletin, including the University Commencement Policy.

University Graduation Requirement

Undergraduate Graduation Policy

Students are required to graduate at the end of the term in which all degree requirements are completed. Degree requirements are university, college and all other requirements necessary to earn a minimum of one undergraduate degree, including any degrees/majors/minors/concentrations that are formally declared in advance of the term in which a student is eligible to graduate. Except in the case of readmission, undergraduate students must meet the graduation requirements which are stated in the Undergraduate Bulletin issued for the year in which they entered Marquette. Substitutions or waivers for specific courses required for degree completion may occur, as determined by the college and/or the Marquette Core Curriculum committee.

Students who have interrupted their enrollment from the university, are normally obliged to follow the degree/major/minor/concentration requirements in effect at the time of readmission. Policies that are in effect at the time of the return, apply to all students, regardless of the term of initial enrollment. Students are responsible for keeping themselves informed of the requirements which apply in their particular cases. Students have faculty advisers available who assist in planning and implementing their plan of studies; however, it is ultimately each student’s responsibility to know and fulfill the requirements for graduation specified for the selected plan. This should be done not only by utilization of specific advisers, but also with Academic Advisement, the university’s online degree audit tool on CheckMarq provided to all undergraduates. With Academic Advisement, students track their degree progress until graduation. It is the responsibility of students to immediately bring any discrepancies found in Academic Advisement to the attention of their college.

A candidate for a baccalaureate degree must meet the following graduation requirements:

1. In all undergraduate colleges and programs, a minimum of 120 credits earned and a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.000 is required for a Marquette undergraduate degree.  A minimum GPA of 2.000 is also required in coursework applicable to any declared majors and minors, although some programs may require a higher minimum GPA.
2. Credits required to be completed in residence at Marquette:
   1. A minimum of 45 total credits must be completed at Marquette. Up to 15 of the 45 credits may be completed through an approved study abroad program.
   2. A minimum of 24 upper-division credits must be completed at Marquette, unless those credits are earned in an approved study abroad program, or are earned as part of a written/contractual agreement with another institution, in which Marquette students participate during the final year of their degree program.
   3. At least 30 of the final 36 credits needed to complete a Marquette undergraduate degree must be completed at Marquette, unless those credits are earned in an approved study abroad program, or are earned as part of a written/contractual agreement with another institution, in which Marquette students participate during the final year of their degree program.
   4. A minimum of one-half of credits in the major, minor, and concentration not attached to a major must be completed at Marquette.
3. Students must attend all courses, lectures, or any other exercises that are required, even though, in some cases such activities receive no recognition in terms of credit hours.
4. Students' records must be cleared of all grades that are not permanent, i.e., grades of I, IC, IE and NG.
5. Students must file the online application for a degree by the deadline published in the Academic Calendar; however, because students are required to graduate at the end of the term in which all university, degree requirements are complete, the university reserves the right to graduate a student without a graduation application on file. If the university exercises this option, there is no guarantee students will be able to participate in Commencement.
6. Commencement is held in May, after the spring term. Participation in Commencement does not mean students are graduated. See the Commencement Policy in this section for further details.
7. Exceptions to this Graduation Requirements policy must be approved by the Office of the Provost, except:
   • the course and bulletin year exceptions listed in the 'Graduation Requirements' section above (as approved by the college)
   • number 3 above (as approved by the college)

For additional college requirements, consult the Degree Requirements listed for each undergraduate program in this bulletin.

Graduation Latin Honors

The grade point average is used to compute graduation Latin honors. The computation is made by dividing the total number of grade points earned at Marquette University by the total number of grade point hours earned. The official Marquette GPA of all students is calculated by the student information system and this GPA is not rounded up or down for any reason. To graduate with Latin honors, candidates must be pursuing their first bachelor's degree, earned at least 60 grade point hours and 60 degree hours at Marquette University, normally as a junior and senior. First bachelor's degree is defined as the first bachelor's degree earned from any institution. When students earn a concurrent additional bachelor's degree (i.e., finish in the same term as the first bachelor's degree), the additional degree is also eligible for Graduation Latin Honors, if the first bachelor's degree qualifies.

Graduates whose grade point average is 3.500, graduate with cum laude (Latin for 'with honor'); graduates whose grade point average is 3.700, graduate with magna cum laude (Latin for 'with great honor'); and graduates whose grade point average is 3.900, graduate with summa cum laude (Latin for 'with highest honor'). Graduation Latin honors are recorded on diplomas, noted in the published lists of graduates at Commencement and recorded on students' transcript.

Graduation Record

The academic record of students is frozen once the degree is posted and may not be altered thereafter, unless required to do so by law and/or a documented university error is discovered after the degree is posted. This includes, but is not limited to: all relevant grade point averages, grades, additional information relating to the degree(s), major(s), minor(s), concentration(s), Latin Honors and academic censure.
