Bachelors of Science in

Economics
Economics

The Bachelor of Science in Economics responds to the demand for professionals with a strong grasp of the latest economic theories and rigorous empirical methods; evidence-driven approach in solving business, public policy, or civil society concerns here or abroad; and technical competence to recognize and adapt to latest market trends.

Our degree offering equips students with the aptitude and analytical framework to determine the best technical solution to a pressing economic problem. In turn, this prepares our students for socially meaningful and personally rewarding careers in multinational corporations, multilateral banking and financial institutions, reputable international organizations, key regulatory agencies, and government agencies.

The Enderun Economics program offers students the following specializations:

  • 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.

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

John Tamayo, BS Economics, Class of 2020

During my studies in Entrepreneurship and Economics at Enderun Colleges, I had the opportunity to intern at esteemed institutions like the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Philippine Senate where I worked closely with the Office of Senator Richard Gordon. I actively contributed to significant initiatives, such as providing logistical support during PCCI’s Metro Manila Business Conference and assisting in the Complete Staff Work for the former senator’s briefers on government budget proposals and other political affairs.

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

In 2021, I was fortunate enough to be selected as one of JP Morgan’s Corporate Analyst Development Program summer interns in the APAC region. My internship remains a top-tier college experience because I was able to get a glimpse of what it was like to work for a prestigious bank and receive mentorship and guidance from networks and colleagues all around the globe. It was a delightful experience overall – challenging but extremely rewarding at the same time. The firm has showed me the value of working for a brand that strives to deliver first class business for all, and in a multitude of ways, has honed me to become someone able to contribute to that mission. The journey did not stop there as I pursued a more permanent role with the bank in the Operations space right after graduation.Thanks to mobility opportunities within the firm, I’m now working at one of our Cebu offices under the Corporate and Investment Banking line of business.

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.
