Hons in Economics and Finance

The Honours Economics and Finance program brings together the Faculty of Arts and the Desautels Faculty of Management, combining economic theory with applied finance. Students build a theoretical framework for understanding resource allocation through economics courses while gaining an applied, real-world perspective through finance courses such as Investment Management and Applied Corporate Finance, alongside Introduction to Economic Theory: Honours and Advanced Economic Theory. As a joint degree spanning management and arts students, the program builds professional networks across both fields. Graduates pursue careers such as investment portfolio manager, asset manager, or financial services consultant, drawing on the combined analytical and applied skill set the program develops. Housed jointly in the Faculty of Arts and the Desautels Faculty of Management, the program gives students exposure to both humanities-style analytical training and management-school coursework within a single Honours degree.
