Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences
Major in Economics
The BA Social Sciences program follows a major-minor scheme. A student of B.A. Social Sciences can choose to major in Economics, History, or Anthropology, and minor in Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, or Sociology. Students are also required to take core courses on the Social Sciences.
Economics integrates a social science perspective that puts forth a holistic and humanistic, rather than a merely technical view of economic issues. It intends to produce graduates who possess fundamental skills in economic analysis. The program will cultivate a general familiarity with the political, social and cultural context of economic behavior.
