Economics
ABOUT
The Economics Undergraduate Program trains highly-skilled professionals to work in private or public sectors. In the private sector, our economists will be able to dynamically interpret the effects of environmental factors, in order to optimize organizations’ economic resources. This will enable them to efficiently face short- and medium-term issues from actual and financial perspectives. In the public sector, they will be able to provide viable solutions to important issues for the country’s development.
Graduates have theoretical-practical knowledge and soft skills to have an innovative impact that creates value in the business, managerial, and technical spheres, for both private and governmental sectors. Their training combines an integrated approach with the right skills to diagnose and solve complex problems in a systemic way, bringing leadership, teamwork, and permanent learning spirit to the table.
Mission
We train highly-skilled economists, with integrity and a global approach thanks to our innovative, disruptive, and top-notch educational model. This allows them to positively transform organizations and commit to the social welfare.
