Why Economics?
The AUBG Economics major will not only train you for advanced education in graduate and professional schools, but also prepare you for a flourishing career in a variety of businesses that value economic insight and analytical ability.
Why Liberal Arts?
Liberal Arts is not reserved for art students only. At AUBG, for example, we have a variety of majors and minors spanning from Business Administration to Computer Science, and we make sure that you get a solid understanding and in-depth knowledge in the field you choose to study.
What differentiates Liberal Arts from other types of degrees, however, is that in addition to that, it gives you the freedom to explore, create, practice your skills and connect to others.
