Hello,

I have noticed that Villanova offers two economics majors: One through the college of arts/sciences, and if the school has it, there is often another economics major through the business school.

I do not want to major in something technical/pre-professional (finance, marketing, etc), however, I would like to major in economics. What would the core differences be between the two programs (through CAS and through VSB)? I appreciate the broader education that would come from majoring in CAS economics, but I think having a degree from the business school would be more marketable to employers.

Please give me advice as to which major you think would suit my wants/needs, and your personal opinion on the pros/cons of each.

Thank you!
