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).
