The Department of Economics at the East West University aims at being one of the most prestigious departments in Economics in Bangladesh. It has a strong teaching faculty comprising highly qualified and experienced professors as well as bright young economists. Research is of high priority in the department.

Economics is also the most vibrant of all social sciences in modern history. Learning Economics has always been most fascinating for brilliant students. Its academic challenges are the envy of most other sciences. At East West University, the BSS program in Economics is designed to meet the challenges of modern time. Students are trained in both theoretical and applied aspects of Economics, Development, and Business. Keeping in view with the demand in the job market, programs in Economics are flexible but rigorous to grip on the challenges of globalization.

The Department offers BSS in Economics with options to complete a Second Major in Management, Marketing, Finance, Computer Science, and English or in any other undergraduate disciplines available at EWU.

The Department also offers a multidisciplinary program at the graduate level. The Master’s in Bank Management (MBM) program is designed to produce the efficient workforce for banking and financial organizations. The Department has developed its second multidisciplinary graduate program in Development Studies with specializations in Evaluation and Design, Development Studies, Development Policy and Development Management. Master’s in Development Studies (MDS) program is intended to be the best academic program in the country in this field. Furthermore, the Department is currently working on developing curriculum for the Master’s in Economics and Law (MEL), the Master’s in Public Policy (MPP), and Master’s in Social Sciences (MSS) in Economics programs. The department is  going to appoint highly qualified teachers with fresh Ph D degrees most preferably from North American, European, and Australian universities in near future. We are also in the process of hiring an internationally renowned professor permanently in the department.
