General Information
The Department of Economics offers both undergraduate (B.A) and graduate (M.Sc. and Ph.D.) 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 who are organised, independent and have the ability of 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 our graduates who go on to professional careers in the private and public sector, the economics education they receive at Çukurova University constitutes a very solid base to develop more applied skills. Those who go on to graduate school, both in Turkey and abroad, have been successful with their analytical background. The department has three subdivisions namely Economic Theory and History, Economic Development and International Economics, Economic Policy. All these subdivisions have their own research areas to do postgraduate education and national and international research projects.
