Economics examines how individuals and societies manage limited resources and allocate products and services. Scenarios involving decisions between competing options can all be considered economic challenges. The curriculum allows students to explore individual decision-making (microeconomics), governmental policy choices (public choice), collective outcomes of these decisions (macroeconomics), and empirical validation of theories (econometrics). Furthermore, the Economics program covers global trade, financial systems, and the growth of developing economies.
