Yes, a Bachelor of Arts (BA) can be suitable even if you don't have a background in economics or accounting. Most BA programs are designed for students from diverse academic backgrounds and include foundational courses to help you build essential knowledge in these subjects.

Your strong academic record in physics and geophysics shows you have the analytical skills needed for success in a BA program. If you want extra support, look for programs that offer preparatory or foundational modules in economics or accounting.
