Economics examines how individuals and societies manage limited resources and allocate goods and services. Scenarios demanding decisions between competing options inherently present economic challenges. The curriculum explores 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 commerce, financial systems, and the growth of developing economies.
