The Department of Economics offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees in Economics. The modern analytical and quantitative methods of economics are emphasized, not merely as tools but as part of an overall approach to train students in systematic and independent critical thinking.
The undergraduate program offers a wide range of courses in all fields of economics and the students graduate with a very strong overall background in economics. For the majority of graduates who go on to professional careers in private and public sector, the economics education they receive at Boğaziçi University constitutes a very solid base on which to develop more applied skills. Those who go on to graduate school, both in Turkey and abroad, have been exceptionally successful with their analytical background.
