Economics
What It Is
Economics analyzes how societies provide for their well-being, and examines the choices and tradeoffs that are made in the face of limited resources. It studies the competition and cooperation that arises among individuals, private organizations, and governments in the process of allocating scarce resources to a variety of different uses in society.
One
may obtain the Economics Major through the 3-Year BA, the 4-Year BA
or the BA Honours degree program. Some of the courses we offer are
recommended for interdisciplinary programs, and it is common for
other departments in the University to require or recommend certain
Economics courses.
Where It Will Take You
A BA degree in Economics will lead naturally to employment in business, financial services, government, and international organizations. Graduate level studies lead to university teaching positions, independent consultancies, and research. The BA in Economics is highly recommended for students planning to go into law, accounting, or business studies.
