Faculty Members

Our faculty members know more than just theory – they have extensive business experience as well. This means they can convey a realistic picture of economic systems and institutions, and deliver more engaging lectures by sharing personal case histories. The results include more absorbing in-class discussions, a more informed education, and a clearer picture of the many career and graduate opportunities available.
