İktisat

Economics examines how individuals, businesses, and governments allocate scarce resources, covering both microeconomic analysis of markets and firms and macroeconomic analysis of national and global economies. Coursework typically includes microeconomic theory, macroeconomic theory, econometrics and statistics, economic history, and public finance, building quantitative and analytical skills applied to real economic data and policy questions. Students learn to interpret economic indicators, model market behavior, and assess the effects of fiscal and monetary policy on growth, employment, and inflation. Elective areas often include international economics, labor economics, and development economics. Graduates commonly pursue careers in banking, financial analysis, government agencies, international organizations, and corporate strategy or research roles, and the degree also serves as a strong foundation for graduate study in economics, finance, public policy, or law.
