Abstract: Implementation of the Bologna process in higher education system significantly influenced the syllabuses as well as the structure of course delivery, such as changing the schedule of courses, teaching methods and assessment. In accordance with the objectives of Bologna, courses are designed to be performed in one semester, which makes a special problem for more complex courses such as theoretical economics courses, which by their content and extent were designed to be performed in two semesters in the previous period. Given their importance for the education vertical, reduction of the content would mean reduction of the quality of studying on faculties of economics. As the reform was on the Croatian universities applied in different ways, the research conducted on the universities of Zagreb, Split, Rijeka and Pula examines the most efficient one, as well as whether the implementation of the Bologna generally improved the quality of studies in relation to the pre-Bologna programs, considering courses of theoretical economics.
