The academic content and curriculum of the Bachelor's Program in International Economics aims to provide students with a comprehensive economics education. The curriculum is based on international economic theories, policies and systems and is designed to develop students' knowledge and skills in global economics.
The program usually starts with basic economics courses. These courses include Microeconomics and Macroeconomics. Microeconomics examines the decision-making processes of individuals and firms and the effects of these decisions on the market, while Macroeconomics deals with large-scale economic factors such as aggregate demand, aggregate supply and policy structure in national and global economies.
Courses specific to International Economics cover topics such as International Trade, International Finance, World Economies and Economic Integration. International Trade analyzes trade flows and policies between different countries, while International Finance provides an in-depth study of financial issues such as exchange rates, international borrowing and investment. World Economies analyzes different economic systems and their impact on the world economy, while Economic Integration covers topics such as regional trade agreements and economic unions.
Courses such as Statistics and Mathematics for Economics aim to provide students with the skills to analyze economic data and draw accurate conclusions. In these courses, economics students learn to use data analysis, probability theories and econometric models.
In addition, courses offered as part of the program, such as Research Methods and Senior Thesis, develop students' ability to conduct independent research. In these courses, students can test economic theories and models on their own and conduct studies that contribute to the international economics literature.
The International Economics program offers students the opportunity to practice through applied projects, case studies and simulations alongside theoretical courses. Such hands-on work allows students to develop practical solutions to real-world economic problems and prepares them for the business world.
In summary, the curriculum of the International Economics Undergraduate Program offers students a broad and in-depth economics education. The program aims to train individuals who are equipped with theoretical knowledge, supported by practical applications, and who can produce innovative solutions to global economic problems.
