Introduction:
Economics uses the principle of utility-maximizing behavior to provide a framework for studying how people make choices. Our Economics curriculum is designed to give students an understanding of economic theory and its application to a wide range of human behavior. The program provides excellent preparation for careers in business, government, research organizations, and international agencies. It is particularly recommended for students planning graduate study or professional training in fields such as economics, law, business, international studies, public administration, and public health.”
