B.A. in Economics

Our University — animated by Christ’s message of charity, compassion and respect, and the Marianists’ humility and commitment to community — invites and welcomes men and women of all faiths, and even of no faith, to walk together, talk together and search for truth together.

Everyone should be treated with respect and dignity. We strive to educate our students to become ethical leaders for the common good, to leave campus with generous spirits and humble hearts, and to view their professional careers as vocational journeys, not just careers. Graduates leave St. Mary’s, not with the narrow goal of personal gratification but aspiration to a life purposely lived: a life of true value.

St. Mary’s University in San Antonio is a private liberal arts school and the oldest Catholic university in Texas. Through small classes, close student-faculty relationships and an engaged community, teaching and learning flourish at St. Mary’s.

We offer a variety of academic programs in humanities, sciences and business, and options to pursue graduate, doctoral and law degrees. Our students engage in learning and social opportunities through undergraduate research, internships and community engagement.  

As a nationally recognized Hispanic-Serving Institution, St. Mary’s has a diverse student population of about 3,500 of all faiths and backgrounds. Students experience a nurturing and vibrant community rooted in the University’s Catholic and Marianist commitments to providing a holistic education in a faith-centered, family-spirit environment.
