COURSE CURRICULUM

The Economics program typically includes a structured set of foundational, quantitative, and applied courses designed to build strong analytical and decision-making skills. Students begin with core introductory courses such as Introduction to Microeconomics, which focuses on how individuals, households, and firms make decisions under conditions of scarcity, and Introduction to Macroeconomics, which examines the broader economy, including inflation, unemployment, national income, and government policy. As students progress, they take more technical and data-driven courses such as Economics and Business Statistics, which teaches statistical tools used to analyze economic data, and Econometrics I, which applies mathematical and statistical methods to test economic theories and interpret real-world data. Specialized courses like Money & Banking explore financial systems, central banking, and monetary policy, while International Economics examines trade, globalization, exchange rates, and cross-border economic relationships. Environmental Economics focuses on how economic principles apply to environmental issues, including resource management and sustainability. Together, these courses provide a balanced mix of theory, mathematics, and real-world application. The curriculum prepares students to understand complex economic systems, interpret data, and evaluate policy decisions. Overall, these sample classes equip students with strong problem-solving, analytical, and quantitative skills that are valuable in careers in finance, government, research, business, and policy-making fields.
