Many people ask, “Why is it important to study Economics or learn
about our economy?” There are many reasons but one of the most important is to study that how people get goods and services they need and want within their limited resources keeping in view their priorities. It deals with the problem of limited resources and their efficient utilization for living a better and happy life. It also focuses on money-how it is made, circulated, lost, used or misused. When our economy does well, we as a nation and as an individual do well. When our economy is in crises,  the nation suffers and we as people don’t get the goods and services we need which in turns affects not only the financial condition of an individual but also have impacts on social and cultural life of the whole nation. Thus it is important for all the citizens that they should be kept informed about the economy, its ingredients, its functioning process and the last but not the least, the benefits and dangers caused by ups and downs in it. The responsibility of informing people increases when we talk about a less-developed or under-developed country where the lack of education and knowledge stops the people from taking active part in the development and betterment of the country and the global society in this era of globalization. To achieve all above mentioned goals, Department of Economics started imparting knowledge in May, 2004 and has the honor of being one of the pioneering departments of Sardar Bahadur Khan Women’s University, Quetta. The department actively pursues the highest possible standards in teaching and research work within its limited yet best possible resources. Staff-students relations are excellent and the Department prides itself on creating a warm and friendly environment in which all its stakeholders are able to realize their full potential. The Department is currently offering M.Sc. Economics degree within a modular framework and BS 4 years program is likely to start in October 2008. The main areas of research in the department include development economics, international economics, macro economics, monetary economics, micro economics and other current economic issues.
