Yes, I saw the economics inclusion in the social sciences….it should be part of biz school IMO.

In many colleges it is.

Sometimes, a business school will have a major, business economics with accounting and finance courses as part of the the requirements for the major.

If the economics department is in the social science department you will see courses in the history of economic thought and economic history (my areas of interests) but also courses on gender equality, the economics of race and gender, specific courses on socialism and marxism and so forth.
Someone who graduates with a degree in economics may have had rigorous training in math, statistics, accounting, finance, as well as economics. However, others may have had a much easier time with fluff courses. My undergraduate degree was in between.
