  In order to successfully complete the Bridge program into Pre-Business, students must meet the following criteria:

With courses considering all major printing and visual communication processes, GC provides students with the opportunity to learn and grow in both an educational as well as a professional setting. This includes two internships that provide exceptional real-world experience and career preparation.

• Economics B.A.

  Economics B.A. assists students in cultivating a greater understanding of human behavior, business, and public policy, and it prepares students for a wide range of careers. By combining general education courses and a strong course of study in Economics, students can prepare for graduate studies in business, law, or any of the social sciences, as well as for careers in business and government.

  The Economics B.A. degree requires students to complete a modern language requirement through the sophomore level. Compared to the Economics B.S., it requires fewer business courses from other disciplines. The B.A. degree offers students maximum freedom to tailor their course of study to their specific interests and career goals.
