BA Economics Hons at Ashoka University Sonipat Offline Course

The undergraduate programmes in Economics at Ashoka University are designed to provide students with a sound understanding of the principles of economics. Students will master a set of tools that will enable them to think critically and contribute to debates on a wide array of interesting problems and issues of public policy.

Although the primary focus of study will be on economics, students will be exposed to ideas and techniques from many other disciplines through the Foundation courses in other disciplines such as History, Sociology, Literature, and Politics. Students will also be taught the quantitative techniques in Mathematics and Statistics that have become an integral part of modern economic analysis.

We are confident that students will imbibe the skills necessary to enter a wide range of careers. Some will go on to further studies in Economics. Some others may wish to work as professional economists in the private or the public sector.

The department recommends that students complete mathematics in Classes 11 and 12 to be eligible for any economics-related major or minor. This includes the pure Economics major and Economics-related Interdisciplinary majors, such as Economics and Finance; Economics and Public Policy; Politics, Philosophy, and Economics; and Economics and History. Students meeting this requirement are automatically eligible for all economics-related majors or minors.

For students who have not studied mathematics in Classes 11 and 12 to be eligible for any economics-related major or minor, they need to:

a) Take MAT 1000: Calculus (a 1000-level course) offered by the Mathematics department in their first semester and

b) Secure at least an A- to be eligible

Note, there may be an entry test requirement for MAT 1000 which will be set by the Maths department. Please check the mathematics department website for more details.
