The Department of Economics under Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences is a classic basic discipline department of Boston College, which has stable academic accumulation and complete talent training system. It has always been favored by overseas students who intend to engage in economic research, international trade policy research and global economic trend analysis, and the global search heat remains high all the year round.
The department's course system covers mainstream research directions such as microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, international economics and behavioral economics. It not only pays attention to the explanation of classic economic theories, but also attaches great importance to the use of data models and statistical tools to carry out economic phenomenon analysis. Students can learn to use professional analysis software to sort out economic data and deduce economic operation laws in the course of study.
In terms of academic research, the teachers of the department have long been committed to research on global economic development differences, international trade relations, regional economic cooperation and other fields, and have published a large number of high-level academic papers in international core economic journals. The department encourages students to participate in various economic investigation projects and international economic forums. Many overseas students take this major as the foundation, and then further study in the directions of international relations, public policy and financial economy, laying a solid interdisciplinary learning foundation for their future development.
