Look carefully at the courses you will take in each major. People often lump economics and business together but they are very different courses of study (one is not better or worse, they are different). Economics is a liberal arts course of study and it gets very theoretical at the upper levels. A business degree typically involves taking a business core curriculum with intro classes in accounting, finance etc.and then picking a major – however I don’t know exactly what classes the BA in Business administration program at your school would allow you to take.

I suggest when the time comes spend the time and look at the courses you’d take under each of the options that is available to you and see if one set of coursework is more appealing than the other. If possible also talk to career placement about what types of opportunities you could get depending on which path you choose.
