Perhaps the best way to understand the world you live in is to understand the economics that drive it. The world is constantly and increasingly confronted with challenging issues that are essentially economic in character. Economic analysis provides a coherent and logical ordered framework for examining these issues and understanding the tradeoffs involved in attempting to solve social and business problems. The study of economics will enhance your fundamental analytic and quantitative skills. The curriculum strives to not simply just provide a very good undergraduate education for people interested in studying economics but also provides skills to pursue a wide variety of careers in both the private and public sectors. It leads naturally to careers in business, law, and in economics research and consulting, as well as provides a solid foundation for students who will pursue an MBA degree. Students who wish to attend graduate school in economics should take courses in mathematics beyond the requirements of the economics program. The economics faculty at NYU Shanghai offers a rare combination of excellence in research and teaching. Many of the economics courses offer the advantage of a liberal arts college setting, including small class sizes and significant interaction between faculty and students. The economics curriculum at NYU Shanghai is designed to introduce students to these fundamental dynamics of human life and, in doing so, is grounded in three basic pedagogical principles:
