Lecturers offer various courses with study areas including advanced microeconomics and macroeconomics, finance management, mathematical economics, health economics, labor economics, environmental economics and many others. Through the courses offered in this department, students gain an in-depth understanding of the issues regarding the performance of real-world economy, financial environment and the effects of government’s economic policies.

 

Goals

The goals of Department of Economics are to educate students about what economics is really about, develop their skills in applying analytical and empirical techniques on economic issues, adopt to this fickle world-wide economic environment, and establish students’ capability in economic analyses if they want to pursue further studies.

 

Characteristics

The undergraduate programs at National Dong Hwa University are designed in a modular format, offering students a flexible way to pursue knowledge. Besides the compulsory courses (basic courses for first-year students, core courses for sophomores and junior students), a student has to take one elective program. Moreover, under the module format, many basic courses offered in College of Management are identical to those in the Department of Economics; therefore, if a student takes eight elective courses conducted by School of Finance, he (she) is eligible to complete dual degrees within four years. The course design is beneficial to students who want to enter job market right after graduation. The postgraduate Masters and PhD programs are scheduled to focus both on economic theories and on economic empirical applications.

 

Prospective Career Opportunities

Our programs equip graduates with the essential skills and techniques for thriving careers in dynamic fields such as banking, finance, academia, government, and beyond.
