Why Choose Economics?
Economics is a social science that uses quantitative analysis to understand and predict the behavior of different entities. Its broad applications extend to an examination of problems and issues in a variety of areas. It complements the study of professional programs such as business administration, accounting, and finance by providing a strong liberal arts foundation upon which these programs are built. It also provides key insights into areas such as health care policy, the environment, international trade, and globalization.

Our curriculum in economics emphasizes the development of foundational knowledge in micro and macroeconomics, as well as quantitative analysis, and statistics. Specialised courses focus on the application of this knowledge to a range of topics while developing and sharpening skills in the process of conducting research, and oral presentation.
Where Economics Can Take You!

I couldn't have asked for more supportive professors. They were so active in encouraging my interests in economics and gave me every opportunity to bolster my knowledge with experiences like independent studies, research assistantships, and presentations at academic conferences....I am incredibly grateful and indebted to them for helping me get to where I am today.
