How to study economics in university

A lot of people want to self-study economics outside of school but aren’t sure where to start. They doubt if it’s even possible.

Economics tips

As someone with a bachelor’s degree in the subject, I can say that self-education is an extremely viable, not to mention economical, path for learning the basics of this fascinating discipline. 

To help you systematically learn economics on your own, I created this 11-step self-education roadmap.

It’s designed to help you get a foundational education in economics — one that’s about the same as the education econ majors like myself receive at college, albeit without the mandatory classes in other subjects.

The roadmap’s steps and sequence are based on my own undergraduate experience, as well as other college curriculums I’ve perused.

I also tailored the roadmap to the self-learner and made some additions that I wish were present in my curriculum when I was in school.
