Bachelor of Economics

The B.E. curriculum 2023 is the most up-to-date conferral degree in bachelor of economics, designed to integrate diverse economic concepts and equip students with important skills needed in the twenty-first century. The curriculum’s core value is to strike a balance between academic rigor and practical application. In terms of academic rigor, students are provided with a strong discipline of scientifically analytical processes in economics, resulting in the development of logical and critical thinking mindsets. In terms of practical application, students in the program can study a variety of applied economics concepts while also minoring in a business-related field such as finance or marketing.

The course plans are created in accordance with the program’s expected outcomes. During their first year, students typically take general education courses required by the university, as well as some foundational concepts in economics and quantitative tools used for upper-level study. Then, students begin taking more major subject courses in their second year. Most registered courses are intermediate-level subjects that serve as a solid foundation for upper-year economics subfield courses.

Having entered their third year, students can delve deeper into the real-world applications of economic principles by choosing from a wide range of topics or issues covered in several economics subfield courses.

We offer nine subfields in economics at the B.E. international program. Each subfield area in economics is not only linked to various career options that students may pursue after graduation, but also provide conceptual framework, tools and knowledge needed for a completion of a required capstone project in their final year. The capstone project is a one-semester (a seminar subfield course) or one-year (the honor thesis) project in which students must conduct independent research on a topic to gain a thorough understanding of it. The project can be an individual or collaborative work at the discretion of the class supervisor, but it must reflect a decent quality of research project. Under each type of capstone class (seminar subfield course or honor thesis), the project investigator will assist students in developing high-level thinking skills for use in research, guiding students until the project is completed.
