The international economics and development track equips students with knowledge about how policies, institutions, and resource endowments shape the accumulation of physical, human, and environmental capital, creating disparities between wealthy and impoverished communities worldwide.
Economics examines how societies distribute limited resources among competing needs. Learners develop insights into consumer behavior, business choices, and the workings of economic systems along with methods to influence them. This academically challenging yet adaptable curriculum delivers analytical frameworks and enhances students' ability to solve economic problems, while offering flexibility to investigate specialized economic domains. The program covers macroeconomics (analyzing national output, price levels, inflation, and employment), microeconomics (exploring consumer purchasing patterns, time management, and business production/employment decisions), and econometrics (providing statistical techniques for modeling economic relationships and predicting trends). Practical applications span diverse fields including healthcare, athletics, taxation, finance, global commerce, and environmental economics.
