Students are trained to apply economic concepts to real-world problems, generate informed solutions, and contribute to evidence-based decision-making in professional and public contexts.
A distinctive feature of the program is its human-centered and development-oriented approach. Salsal University integrates social, ethical, and human considerations into economic education, ensuring that graduates engage responsibly in policy-making, institutional development, and community advancement.
