Employment and Graduate Studies

The Economics major at NYU Abu Dhabi is designed to foster rigorous analytical abilities, critical writing and communication skills, and the capacity to interpret and use statistical data — all in the service of developing sound economic reasoning and problem-solving skills. These transferable strengths are of value in a broad array of academic and professional paths:

  • economics
  • business
  • law
  • public service
  • graduate studies

The Career Development Center at NYU Abu Dhabi works with students to help improve interpersonal skills, find internship and job opportunities, and prepare for graduate school.

 

My degree prepared me for both the rigor and the social challenge of an MBA. The liberal arts education and my major equipped me with the tools I need to succeed.
