EDUCATION PROGRAM
Semester I
Introduction to Microeconomics
The course aims to equip students with the basic concepts of economics. These concepts will help students understand the behavior of economic agents: households, businesses, and public actors. At a level above the introductory one, the course covers the theoretical foundations of the two main components of microeconomic theory: (i) consumer theory and (ii) producer theory. The treatment of these topics is limited to the conditions of a perfectly competitive market. In the first part, consumer theory, the course begins with the consumer’s budget constraint. It then examines the other side of consumer behavior: how the consumer perceives their utility. This includes the development of utility theory, preference theory, and consumer choice theory. Consumer theory concludes with the construction of the individual and market supply curves, as a concrete expression of consumer behavior.

Business Analysis I (Principles of Management)
The main objective of this course is to engage students from an active research perspective, rather than as consumers of facts and formulas. The solid foundations that students will gain in this course will help them recognize connections to the real world of management. The course Business Analysis I (Principles of Management) is deeply rooted in a Druckerian philosophy, summarized in the words of the founder of modern management, Peter Drucker:
“A manager who understands the discipline of management can still be an effective manager — perhaps even a first-rate one — even with minimal knowledge of managerial tools and techniques. A person who knows only skills and techniques, without understanding the principles of management, is not a manager, but merely a technician.” (Drucker, 1974).

Semester III
Entrepreneurship
The course embraces the idea that entrepreneurship is an approach to business suitable for any organization, regardless of its size or level of establishment.

The course aims to inspire students through exposure to real-life cases and the entrepreneurs involved in them, encouraging the research and development of the skills necessary for success in entrepreneurship. The main objective of the course is to help students understand that every individual has a different style of interaction and work, and that awareness of one’s personal style is essential to developing the behaviors and abilities that inspire others to work toward a common goal.

Business Analysis II (Operations Management)
Given that the creation of products and services represents the main reason for the existence of any organization—whether small or large, manufacturing or service-oriented, profit or non-profit—managers must understand the importance of operations. This is because effective operations management provides the opportunity to improve revenues while ensuring that products and services are produced more efficiently. This combination of higher revenues and lower costs should be understood as one of the most important factors in any organization by all managers.

Environmental Economics and Climate Change
The main objective is to understand and analyze the relationship between the environment and the economy. The environment is an essential component of the economic system, and without it, this system cannot function. Economists have begun to treat the environment as an asset and a resource. According to environmental economists, environmental degradation is the result of market system failure to assign value to the environment, even though it serves economic functions and provides economic benefits. It is argued that environmental assets tend to be overused or abused, leading to their degradation. Therefore, the environment should be studied and integrated into the economic system and taken seriously by decision-makers.

Financial Economics
This course examines the economic principles that determine the allocation of resources over time in market economies. It applies supply and demand relationships to evaluate capital assets (or projects in general). Financial economics is a branch of economics that studies the behavior of business managers, particularly their reasoning in making investment, pricing, and other strategic business decisions. The course assumes that students have basic knowledge of microeconomics, macroeconomics, and finance. Building on the general principles of these subjects, it explores how markets function, the models and applications that describe the efficient allocation of resources within an economic unit, and how competing firms behave in the market. Financial economics seeks to optimize the decisions of an economic unit based on its objectives and the constraints imposed by limited resources and competitive markets.

This course presents both the practice and theory of leadership, referring to contexts within business as well as organizational life beyond business. The main objective is the development of students’ leadership skills as current and future leaders of themselves and others. The philosophy of this course is best captured in the words of James March: “The critical concerns of leadership are not technical issues of management or power; they are fundamental issues of life.”
