Our philosophy is to educate students to serve the community and to possess the ‎qualifications and knowledge to successfully compete in the local and international ‎workforce.  We aim to help students develop the theoretical and practical skills to ‎meet these objectives.  Our program in Economics is unique due to the diversity ‎of our teaching faculty and the emphasis we place on practical and applied ‎training. In our department, we have three areas of focus: 1) Theory, which focuses ‎on rigorous training in microeconomic and macroeconomic theories and statistics; ‎‎2) Empirical and applied analysis in microeconomics and macroeconomics, use of ‎computer programs, and research; 3) Inter-personal skills development through ‎practical training and student internships in the labor market.

We encourage students to develop independent skills through internships and ‎training with private and public institutions, and NGOs.  At the end of their second ‎year, students have to establish relationships with institutions of their interest, and ‎complete 180 hours of training with them in the fourth year.   Students will ‎benefit from the vibrant academic environment we offer that include workshops, ‎international conferences, and seminars from governmental, private, and research ‎sectors.  We offer opportunities for international study through participation in the ‎European Region Access Scheme for Mobility of University Students (ERASMUS) ‎program.
