Program details

Overview

This three-year Bachelor of Arts in Economics concentrates on economic theory, applications, and current policy issues at the regional, national, and international level. Coursework covers environmental economic policy, microeconomics, urban economics, economic development, the economics of finance, and elementary statistical methods for economists, among other topics. The program can be completed on a full-time or part-time basis, with courses offered during the day and evening, and spring and summer term courses provide additional scheduling flexibility. The curriculum is structured to differ from typical provincial economics programs by combining core theory with applied, policy-oriented coursework, rather than a narrower business-only focus. Graduates are prepared for roles in economic analysis, public policy, finance, and government or research organizations, as well as further graduate study in economics or related fields.
