Economics
The BA Program in Economics aims to equip its graduates with the fundamental tools and concepts of economic analysis for generating original solutions to new problems and situations that they may face during their future experiences. Our students are envisioned to develop a unique perspective that will allow them to analyze diverse situations as part of their active learning process. The program also aims to prepare students to function as active decision-makers in the highly competitive environment that prevails in the global economy, and to endow them with the ability to function in areas that are not directly related to their main area of expertise.
