Program details

Overview

This certificate programme introduces students to the concepts, theories, and research methods of economics through a multidimensional lens that also considers the cultural, historical, political, and social dimensions of economic life.

The programme is offered full-time or part-time on the Gatineau campus and leads to a first-cycle Certificate in Economics and Society. Admission is possible with a college diploma (DEC) or equivalent, with a minimum of 15 completed university credits and a stated cumulative average, or on the basis of relevant aptitude assessed through a questionnaire and possible interview.
