We prepare international applicants with a foreign university entrance qualification - that is not recognized as equivalent to the German Abitur - for academic studies at a German university.

In Economics of Innovation and Technological Change, the Seasonal School programme addresses both the theoretical and the empirical underpinnings of the economics of innovation and technical change, as well as recent debates at the frontier of the field. The topics covered include technological paradigms and trajectories, innovation and firm strategies, sectoral patterns of innovation, analysis of patent data, innovation and economic growth, innovation and competitiveness, and innovation and intellectual property rights.

The Seasonal School aims to strengthen the methodological skills of PhD students and early-career researchers in the field of causal inference in economics, with particular emphasis on techniques for learning causal structures from data, including both panel and time-series settings.

Agent-Based Models in Economics: Theory, Toolkit and Policy Laboratories Seasonal School is intended to achieve the following objectives: Learning agent-based modelling techniques (ABMs) as a tool for analysis and interpretation of economic and social processes.

Our economics program is unique among most undergraduate economics programs in that we require two econometrics courses as part of our major, and one econometrics course as part of our minor. Many undergraduate economics programs do not require econometrics for either the major or minor. We choose to emphasize econometrics in our program to provide our students with the quantitative and critical thinking skills necessary to thrive in a data-driven world.

The bachelor of science major in mathematical economics comprises at least 11 economics courses plus six specific courses in mathematics and computer science, permitting a deeper engagement with the discipline than the bachelor of arts economics major and providing enhanced preparation for graduate study.

Economics is highly complementary with a number of other disciplines and some students may choose to minor in economics while pursuing a major in another field. Students often decide to minor in economics after having already taken several economics courses and realizing that a few more courses will satisfy the minor requirements. Minors must earn a minimum grade of C- in each core course (CR/NC grading is not permitted for core courses). A minimum of 6 upper-division units are required to complete the minor. All coursework used to satisfy the requirements of the minor must be completed with a minimum grade point average of 2.0.

Economics courses provide individuals with a logical and consistent framework for understanding basic concepts such as market equilibrium, social welfare and economic policies. A variety of active learning methods are used in economics classes. Film, class discussion, and multi-media presentations help engage students in active learning. Economics provides a strong insight into the economic and public policy environment in which virtually every profession, such as finance, journalism and health care, will be pursued.

Students majoring in Mathematical Economics (ME) must successfully complete no fewer than 16 units of listed courses in Mathematics (MA) and Economics (EC), including a senior thesis. To solidify basic problem solving skills, all majors must initially take a common set of required courses in economic theory, calculus, statistics, and linear algebra. Contingent on individual course prerequisites, majors may then directly fulfill the elective requirement which undertakes a more advanced treatment of mathematical economics, or complete a sequence of courses that provide exposure to the statistical modeling of data. This major provides strong training for students pursuing private sector careers in investment banking, forecasting, applied mathematics, or finance, as well as graduate work in economics, operations research, and financial engineering.

Economics studies how scarce resources can be used most effectively to address the pressing needs of society. These needs include: promoting long-term sustainable growth and fighting hunger, joblessness, inequality, and discrimination. Economics courses provide students with critical thinking skills, and with theoretical and applied tools for studying social problems and proposing informed, evidence-based policies.

The primary aim of the Barnard Economics Department is to provide students with a rigorous, broad, and critical program in theoretical and empirical economics. The department offers two tracks in he economics major, as well as combined majors in Economics & Mathematics, Economics & Social History, and Economics-Statistics.

In your first year of studies in the Economics and Finance program, you’ll get a broad liberal arts education that creates a strong foundation for your future studies. During your second year, you’ll have a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of economic and statistical theory, and the opportunity to investigate a wealth of options (environmental economics, labor economics, health economics, finance, policy study, game theory, public finance and more). In your third and fourth years, you’ll specialize with courses that will bring you to the leading edge of current understanding in economics, finance, or financial economics.

An Economics Minor is a supplementary program of study that provides students with a foundational understanding of economic principles and their applications. Here's an overview of what a typical Economics Minor program might involve: Core Economic Principles: Students in the Economics Minor typically study fundamental economic principles, including microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics focuses on individual economic behavior, such as consumer choice and firm behavior, while macroeconomics examines aggregate economic phenomena like inflation, unemployment, and economic growth. Applied Economics: The program may include courses that apply economic principles to real-world issues and problems.

The business, economics, and management (BEM) option is one of just a few undergraduate business programs of its kind in the nation. The BEM curriculum exposes students to core ideas and concepts from many fields—including finance, economics, political science, and psychology—while providing them with the analytic tools needed to excel in graduate programs and the modern business environment, including the financial industry, consulting, and entrepreneurial ventures. Today's business environment is complex, and therefore required courses in this option are highly analytic. Students often pair the BEM option with a science or engineering option. Established in 2011, the Ronald and Maxine Linde Institute of Economic and Management Sciences is a hub for interdisciplinary research in the social sciences with concentrations in economics, finances, and management.
