Economics Major

The Bachelor of Arts with a major in Economics aims to help students master valuable knowledge and develop real-world skills along with a sense of enlightenment and fulfillment. Studying economics can also be fun because the questions asked are both intellectually stimulating and relevant to our lives. Our rigorous curricula emphasize applications of economic principles and analysis. In their last semester, students have the opportunity of conducting research using real economic or business data.
