The session held at the Frem Civic Center offered students a deeper look into the real-world impact of economics and the range of career paths it can lead to, from business and finance to government and global organizations such as the United Nations and the World Bank.
Dr. Sherry introduced LAU’s AACSB-accredited BS in Economics program, highlighting its flexible curriculum and the option to pursue a minor in economics.
