Economics is known worldwide as a premium pre-business program. Although professional economics often work as government advisors to direct the direction of the country, and in the planning and strategy departments of major companies, the majority of students who study economics will go into business.
Economics is preferred as a premium pre-business program by business schools worldwide because it focuses on the more difficult and rigorous local decision making that businesses need to make. Although included in the curriculum, much of the softer presentation and management skills are left for later, while local and mathematical skills are emphasized, leading to an excellent preparation for leaders, financial experts and strategists of the world’s top companies.

Many of the business and national leaders are graduates of Chulalongkorn.A student studying at EBA has great opportunities to move into the business and political leadership of the country.
