PREFACEThe curriculum, with varying definitions, is said to be a plan of the teaching-learningprocess that students of an academic programme are required to undergo toachieve some specific objectives. It includes scheme of studies, objectives &learning outcomes, course contents, teaching methodologies and assessment/evaluation. Since knowledge in all disciplines and fields is expanding at a fast paceand new disciplines are also emerging; it is imperative that curricula be developedand revised accordingly.University Grants Commission (UGC) was designated as the competent authorityto develop, review and revise curricula beyond Class-XII vide Section 3, SubSection 2 (ii), Act of Parliament No. X of 1976 titled “Supervision of Curricula andTextbooks and Maintenance of Standard of Education”. With the repeal of UGCAct, the same function was assigned to the Higher Education Commission (HEC)under its Ordinance of 2002, Section 10, Sub-Section 1 (v).In compliance with the above provisions, the Curriculum Division of HECundertakes the revision of curricula regularly through respective NationalCurriculum Revision Committees (NCRCs) which consist of eminent professorsand researchers of relevant fields from public and private sector universities, R&Dorganizations, councils, industry and civil society by seeking nominations from theirorganizations.In order to impart quality education which is at par with indigenous needs andinternational standards, HEC NCRCs have developed unified framework/templates as guidelines for the development and revision of curricula in thedisciplines of Basic Sciences, Applied Sciences, Social Sciences, Agriculture andEngineering.It is hoped that this curriculum document, prepared by the respective NCRC’s,would serve the purpose of meeting our national, social and economic needs, andit would also provide the level of competency specified in Pakistan QualificationFramework to make it compatible with international educational standards. Thecurriculum is also placed on the website of /RevisedCurricula/Pages/default.aspx(Muhammad Raza Chohan)Director General (Academics)4

1.PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:An understanding of economics is a vital component of education in socialsciences and absolutely necessity for anyone interested in areas as business,environmental policy, welfare reform, international trade and finance, orglobalization.BS Economics is a four years degree program comprising of eight regularsemesters. Students with degree of F.Sc. / F.A. / I.Com / A. levels or equivalent aregiven admission in this program. An eligibility criterion is defined by university. Alongwith the eight regular semesters, university may offer summer sessions to provideopportunities to the students who fail or withdraw a course and those who wish toimprove their grades.This program is designed to familiarize students with the broad range of issues andsituations studied by economists and the tools they use. The curriculum starts at thevery basic introductory level. As such no specific high school preparation is required,therefore students with diversified background equally fit in the program. Howeveran appreciation for mathematics and statistics shall prove to be useful. All economicsundergraduate majors study a significant core of economic theory and mathematicaland statistical methods, and are then in a position to choose among a wide varietyof higher electives.2.PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:BS Economics program is designed to equip the graduates with theknowledge of economic theory, so that they could understand that how economicagents interact and economy operates. The graduates of this program are expectednot only to identify the economic problems, but also to also suggest set of alternativesolutions. In specific following are the objectives of this program:1.2.3.The graduates shall be equipped with the comprehensive knowledge and skillset in order to contribute competently as economists and analysts in variouscapacities.The graduate shall have cross-disciplinary knowledge of the core functionsand operations of the economy.The graduate shall be prepared to respect diversity and endeavor to workethically.PROGRAM LEARNING OBJECTIVES:1.Critical Thinking Skills: An ability to optimally apply economic analysis toeveryday economic problems in the real world. This shall allow them to understandcurrent events and evaluate potential policy proposals. Moreover, an appreciationshall be developed to evaluate the role played by assumptions in situations thatreach various conclusions to a specific economic or policy problem.7
2.Quantitative Reasoning Skills: An ability to use empirical evidence toassess the validity of an economic argument. This shall involve the use of statisticaldata and methodology, ability to interpret statistical results and conduct appropriatestatistical analysis.3.Problem-Solving Skills: An ability to solve problems that have precisesolutions as well as those that do not have precise answers and clarify conditionsunder which these solutions may be correct.4.Specialized Knowledge and Application of Skills: An ability to developcritical as well as quantitative thinking skills specific to economics, finance, businessand/or accounting.5.Communication Skills: An ability to communicate effectively in written, oraland graphical form about concrete questions and to prepare well-organized writtenarguments that clearly state assumptions/hypotheses supported by evidence.8
