- Globalization and Technology focuses on innovations and best practices in international and regional markets, and explores the impact of the four freedoms (freedom of goods, services, capital, and people) on an increasingly borderless world.
- Enterprise and Development emphasizes the social and ecological impact of economics, cultivating future leaders who are economically literate, socially conscious, and possess a development mindset.
- Economic Policy and Law represents the convergence of economic sciences and the legal system. It introduces students to competition policy, public finance, industrial policy, fiscal and monetary policies, national and local economic planning, and various spheres of government regulation.
Developing Economists with a Global Mindset
Globalization makes economic literacy a necessity. Future corporate executives, industry leaders, development practitioners, and public servants require a substantive understanding of the contemporary realities of free trade agreements, international financial markets, global value-chains, and regional development institutions.
To achieve this, Enderun Colleges has entered an academic collaboration with UCLA Extension to offer credit-bearing courses to its students. These courses provide students with an opportunity to learn from UCLA Extension professors and develop future-driven competencies
Additionally, students taking BS Economics also have opportunities to integrate classes from BSBA Technology Management, BSBA Sustainability Management, BS Entrepreneurship, and others into their own body of study. This holistic approach allows students to better apply their economics studies into specific industries, helping them to become well-rounded professionals.

BS Entrepreneurship Students.
John Tamayo, BS Economics, Class of 2020
These transformative internships allowed me to collaborate with respected industry leaders, gain insights into strategic planning across various business scales, and observe the intricacies of inclusive national policy-making. These experiences strengthened my commitment to person-centered policies and inspired me to pursue a voluntary internship at the World Youth Alliance Asia Pacific. The knowledge, skills, and values acquired during these internships have prepared me for a purpose-driven and impactful career, steering me towards social innovation, law, and public policy.
Throughout my internship journey, I received exceptional support from the Enderun Colleges’ approachable Office of Career Services and my dedicated internship adviser, Dr. Edgardo Rodriguez. Their extensive network and industry expertise facilitated valuable connections, and nurtured my growth as a well-rounded young professional. Their guidance and resources were instrumental in helping me navigate challenges and seize opportunities during my internships. I also developed a strong moral compass, with Dr. Rodriguez always emphasizing the value of daring to be different and making a difference. Enderun Colleges indeed empowers its students for future-ready and globally competitive career paths, and I’m deeply grateful for the enriching internship experiences they provided me and my fellow Titans.
Alex Rabaya, BS Economics Class of 2022
I was able to make the best out of my internship because from the get-go, I had access to support and mentorship from my professors who happen to be industry practitioners as well. The classes I took put emphasis on understanding things from a theoretical perspective, but more importantly, knowing how to leverage that knowledge in everyday life. During my stay, the school was also very supportive of elements intergral to one’s personal and professional growth. These were through networking events, student body organizations, leadership programs, and many more. All of these have enabled me to excel in corporate very early on – something I graciously thank Enderun for.
