LevelBachelors Program
  • Economics, at its core, is the study of decision-making when resources are limited
  • Economists study why and how these decisions are made, as well as what effect they have on a population. They look at preferred outcomes, such as efficiency, equality, and stability, to help better understand how these goals can be met
  • The practical application of economics gives graduates a future with multiple options, even beyond the field of economics. While working at financial institutions or investment services after graduation is common, many undergraduates pursue a master’s in business or seek a law degree to cap off their formal educational experience
  • The program has required core and supporting courses, and a choice of 4 different tracks, one of which must be chosen by the student: General, Finance, International Economics, or Public Policy
  • Students will study courses like Principles of Microeconomics, Principles of Macroeconomics, National Income, and Employment Theory, History of Economic Thought, etc.
