The Department of Economics, Geography, History and Political Science is focused on developing in students an understanding of the present that is informed by an awareness of the past as well as the complex and interdependent relationships between cultures and societies. The Associate of Arts in Economics is a two-year program for students planning to continue their education to earn a bachelor’s degree in the field of economics, finance, or banking.
This pathway is designed for transfer to an Economics Major, B.S. Degree, in the College of Liberal Arts at Middle Tennessee State University and the College of Arts and Science at the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga. Note: There are to be no course substitutions in this program.
All students graduating with a degree from VSCC are required to take the Educational Testing Service Proficiency Profile (ETSP). More information can be found at http://www.volstate.edu/Testing/Services.php.
