BS Four-Year Degree Plan (Comprehensive)

The Bachelor of Science in Economics degree at Missouri State can be completed in eight regular semesters. However, you may be able to graduate sooner if you enter with dual credit or transfer credit. Make an appointment with your advisor to discuss schedules and options.

The Bachelor of Science degree may be comprehensive or non-comprehensive. The comprehensive option does not require a minor; instead it requires satisfaction of Plan A (18 credit hours in any discipline in which a major is offered) or Plan B (9 credit hours in each of two disciplines in which a major is offered).
