Bachelor's Degree
Economics examines human behavior and how societies manage limited resources across various needs.
It explores the decision-making processes of individuals and communities regarding producing, trading, distributing, and using goods and services. A key focus involves analyzing how people react to market incentives, how government policies can alter these incentives, and when state involvement might be justified.
Economics students gain practical experience through internships, consulting projects, and educational trips to South America.
Career paths for graduates span diverse fields based on personal interests and additional skills. Economic professionals find employment in banking, insurance, energy, public policy, and education sectors.
