The academic content and curriculum of the Economics Undergraduate Program focuses on the basic concepts, theories and applications of economics. In the first years of the program, students take basic courses such as introduction to economics, microeconomics, macroeconomics, mathematics and statistics. These courses lay the foundation for the ability to conduct economic analysis and evaluate economic data.
Microeconomics courses cover topics such as the decision-making processes of individuals and firms, market structures, demand and supply mechanisms. In macroeconomics, broad economic issues such as general economic growth, inflation, unemployment, monetary policy and the international economy are covered.
Statistics and econometrics courses cover the methodologies used in the interpretation and forecasting of economic data, teaching students data analysis and modeling techniques. These courses develop students' analytical skills, both theoretical and practical.
In the later years of the program, students take courses in more specialized subjects. These include international economics, public economics, money and banking, environmental economics, labor economics and financial economics. These courses are supplemented by a variety of elective courses that students can choose according to their interests and career goals.
In addition, another important topic emphasized throughout the program is the history of economic thought and economic policy. These courses include the historical development of economic theories and the analysis of current economic policies.
Teaching methods include lectures, group work, project-based assignments, case studies and presentations. Textbooks, academic articles, current economic reports and online resources are used as teaching materials.
The curriculum of the Bachelor's Degree Program in Economics aims to provide students with an understanding of economic theories and applications, analytical thinking, critical evaluation and problem solving skills. This program equips students with the necessary tools to understand economic phenomena and find solutions to them.
