Economics

Economics major at SAS is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in the fundamentals of economics, while also offering specialized courses that enable students to pursue their individual interests and career goals.

Basic courses such as microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics and statistics provide students with a strong theoretical background, while specialized courses such as finance and banking, game theory and others offer students the opportunity to delve deeper into particular areas of interest.
