Department Head’s Message

“Welcome to the Department of Economics and Decision Sciences!

The core of the Department of Economics and Decision Sciences is to provide an inclusive learning space to advance the frontier of economic and business research with three priorities in hand as learning for the future, research with impact and collaboration with partners. Well-educated economists with strong analytical and computational skills are indeed more expected in the dynamic economic landscape. We aim to develop knowledgeable, skilled and solution-oriented economists and business analysts who are equipped with strong theoretical and practical knowledge to suit the future requirements of the country and the world. The department also promotes students’ involvement in university life as well as serves community development, as we strongly believe the development of social capital is critical. Our well-experienced lecture panel is committed to excellence in research as a part of the department mission and collaboratively works with students to develop their research skills. Last but not least, we invite our students to inquire and inspire with the Department of Economics and Decision Sciences!”
