Economics

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) – 2 field degree program - Minor Field


We strive for economic growth, efficiency and a high employment rate. However too much growth can lead to a recession, that is, an economic decline. How much growth is good for an economy and what effect do growth and unemployment have on one another? This is what macroeconomics consider. Microeconomics on the other hand studies how individual economic players, such as companies, consumers and banks, affect markets and interact.

If you think that both these fields sound exciting, if you want to give your studies an economic focus, then the minor in Economics on your Bachelor of Arts is the choice for you!

The bachelor of arts minor field program in Economics focuses on the foundations of microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics studies how individual economic actors (e.g., companies, consumers, banks) act and interact on markets. Macroeconomics, on the other hand, studies the factors influencing economic dimensions like growth, economic cycles, and employment. Students can select individual specializations in economic theory, economic policy, and public finance.

The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.
