The Bachelor of Economics (BEc or BEcon), or the "Bachelor of Science in Economics", or the "Bachelor of Applied Economics", is a bachelor's degree awarded by many universities and colleges for completion of an undergraduate program in economics, econometrics, or applied economics; these are often paired with business, international trade, insurance studies, finance, or their relevant fields.Specialized economics degrees are also offered as a BA (Econ), BSc (Econ), BCom (Econ), and BSocSc (Econ).The curriculum is (substantially) more theoretical and mathematical than the major in economics available generally (BBA, general BCom or BA).
