BA in Economics or BBA?

<p>Hmm, this thread has given me a lot to think about. It’s strange to me that there would be such a disparity between the quality of the two degrees. If the BBA is less valuable than Econ + Quant, why do BBA programs nationwide enjoy such high popularity among students and recruiters? There has to be some advantage to the BBA other then just a lighter course load, right?</p>

<p>Also, on a side-note, this has been really informative. Thanks guys for all the great insight.</p>
