It was easy to fall in love before my first class was finished... To put it simply, I love economics because I can see the cause and effect, but it also challenges me and forces me to grow."

"Economics is a subject that I’ve grown to really enjoy throughout my time at UNO... It’s interesting to be able to look at a decision that a company or government makes and think about why they made that decision. It also leads me to want to learn more when they make a decision that doesn’t seem to be the obvious one."


Duyen Truong Wins the H&K King Scholarship!

Duyen tells us why she loves economics...

"Studying Economics in the United States brings me a great opportunity to experience and explore completely different aspects of this field... Economics is challenging, yet improves my skills and knowledge. The challenge actually makes things more interesting. Not only economics can be applied for countries, big corporations and businesses, but economics is also valuable for decision making in everyday life."
