The swift transformations undergone by Colombian and the world economy and the new challenges faced by the contemporaneous society have created the need for professionals from all disciplines, some more than others, to acquire a basic understanding of economics to interpret current trends.

The purpose of this Option is to provide students with basic training in Economics in order to:
- Provide them with tools for them to better understand economic phenomena, complementing the studies of their discipline.
- Learn and analyze the country’s reality from the economic standpoint.
- Get students interested in the study of economics with a view to carry out more advanced studies such as the Master’s Program in Economics offered at present by the School of Economics.
- Create interdisciplinary opportunities to reflect on the problems being faced by our society.
