Economics

Department of Economics, College of Social and Applied Human Sciences.

The Department of Economics offers courses in economic theory, applied economics and quantitative methods. Students may take courses leading to a B.A. in either the honours or the general program. It is possible to combine Economics with various other disciplines such as mathematics and statistics, business administration, political science, geography and history. Students are urged to consult the department's program planning guide and the department's advisors for detailed information about courses and programs and about the course of study most appropriate as preparation for graduate work in economics or business administration, for professional degrees such as the Bachelor's degree in Law, and for careers in business and government.
