ECONOMICS PROGRAM

METU-NCC Economics program started education in the academic year of 2004-2005 with the principal aim of establishing and improving the understanding of economic problems from the elementary to the most complex, in an interdisciplinary manner, supported by historical, social and political aspects and providing its students with necessary skills and tools to undertake critical and systematic analysis of the economic environment, with a special focus on the local economic issues, and area studies.

Besides teaching basics of the economic theory to develop economic understanding at the international standards, the general structure of the program has enough flexibility to permit interdisciplinary feedback from different programs by allowing its students to take courses from Political Science and International Relations and Business Administration programs. Thus the students of the program will develop an extensive economic understanding as well as a general comprehension of social and administrative sciences.
