You concentrate on economics and policy-making to examine topics like trade, labor markets, education, migration, poverty, development, and healthcare. Through microeconomic and macroeconomic principles, you develop skills to evaluate real-world challenges and current events.
You explore subjects including global trade, economic imbalances, and financial crises while mastering statistical methods for economic analysis. Specialize further by selecting from advanced topics such as education economics, behavioral economics, financial economics, or development economics. Quantitative abilities are strengthened through coursework in mathematical economics and statistics.
The Economics BA program offers interdisciplinary opportunities alongside core studies, with options for international study or professional placements. Academic Success Advisers provide support for essential skills like critical analysis, presentations, academic writing, and effective note-taking.
This adaptable program lets you customize your studies for diverse career paths in banking, finance, corporate sectors, government, or global institutions.
