The study of economics offers you a comprehensive exploration of how individuals, businesses, and governments make decisions about resource allocation, production, and consumption. With a focus on both microeconomics (examining the choices of individuals and firms) and macroeconomics (studying broader economic forces like inflation, unemployment, and national growth), our faculty will provide you with the tools you need to analyze and interpret complex economic issues.
