Academic Background
Miren has four children (two in college and two at home), four dogs and one cat. He’s lived in Croatia, Germany, New York and South Carolina. He remains passionate about seeing students developing and maturing academically from their first year to graduation and believes it would be difficult to teach in his discipline without adding a spiritual component. “Economics, to me, is a wonderful discipline,” Dr. Ivankovic said. “It covers all of the aspects of human life, including work and leisure. It is a science that uses very sophisticated tools in order to explain unknown.”
Doctor of Philosophy in Economics, Clemson University
M.A in Economics, Clemson University
B.S in Business Administration, Lander University
