Program Overview

Explore how choices are made when resources are limited and how value is created and shared within an economy. A degree in Economics looks at why individuals, businesses, and governments make certain decisions, and how those decisions affect the production and distribution of goods and services.

You’ll learn how to use economic models and data analysis to understand real-world situations, test ideas, and anticipate possible outcomes. The course also introduces practical tools used to evaluate decisions, measure impact, and guide policy.

For students interested in economic theory, decision-making, and global markets, studying economics provides a clear understanding of how systems work and how informed choices can shape outcomes at both local and international levels.
