Overview

International Economics at Franklin University Switzerland stresses both theoretical and applied concepts, quantitative and qualitative reasoning, communication skills and basic computer literacy.

Key facts:

We also expect our students to appreciate and draw from their knowledge of other disciplines, other cultures and other languages.
The pluralistic approach taken by the department allows students to connect the content taught in the economics classes with the occurrences in the real world, thereby preparing them for diverse and challenging work environments.
To concretize that connection, the Franklin Frank Program was created to foster service learning and to develop a student "economy" that can provide reflection on the nature of money and job creation.
