Economics is where business, applied mathematics, and human behavior meet.

Studying economics requires not only an analytical mind, but also curiosity about contemporary events and society as a whole.

Your degree in Economics will expose you to micro and macroeconomics while honing your quantitative and qualitative skills. You'll gain a solid foundation in corporate finance and the analytical tools commonly used in financial services, investment analysis, and research.
