As the country enters into the global market, the demand for graduates with strong economics and quantitative techniques background is expected to rise. This is because contemporary national and international relations all have underlying economic implications. Individuals, companies and governments are all interested in the art of good housekeeping because knowledge of economics helps them deal with the problems they face. The current economic crisis in Asia (Philippines included) and the current debate on worldwide recession highlight the need to train more professionals with knowledge and competence in economics. Economics provides the tools and skills with which to deal with these issues. The need for these specialized skills will become more apparent with Mindanao emerging as an industrial hub of the Philippines.
