الجامعة الأمريكية بالقاهرة (مصر)
Online only
An undergraduate degree analyzing macroeconomic policy, trade diversification, sovereign industrial strategies, and human capital growth in the Arab world. Students earn 2 independent accredited diplomas with a 65% / 35% international credit split. BA in Economics & Arab Regional Development (Dual Award) is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 36 months, and the credit total is 120. Students move from Methods in BA in Economics & Arab Regional Development through Methods in BA in Economics & Arab Regional Development; Cases in BA in Economics & Arab Regional Development; Practice in BA in Economics & Arab Regional Development; Project in BA in Economics & Arab Regional Development; Methods in BA in Economics & Arab Regional Development (BAX-D202), and finish on Methods in BA in Economics & Arab Regional Development (BAX-D202). Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students apply the method of the subject to a defined problem and defend the result. Reading is a core text, a case or dataset, and a critique. The artefact a marker expects is a submission that shows the method, the evidence, and the limit of the claim. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Conferral of two recognized Bachelor of Arts degrees upon graduation Econometric modeling and statistical data analysis using Stata, R, and Python Deep dive into regional economic integration and Arab free-trade agreements Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.

The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a core text, a case or dataset, and a critique. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a submission that shows the method, the evidence, and the limit of the claim. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit.
