Glendon - Economics
What’s underneath? Dive into complex economic issues in a bilingual+ campus alongside the next generation of critical thinkers and learn analytical skills which are crucial to the modern-day workplace; because what you see is only the tip of the iceberg.
Why are some countries rich and others poor, and why is rent so much higher in Toronto than in Sudbury? Our globally focused Economics degree gives you insights into these types of issues, preparing you for careers in law, politics, diplomacy, government, and more. You’ll learn from professors with strong international backgrounds, real-world experience and a wide variety of specializations, including microeconometrics, immigration, international trade law, natural resources and the environment.
Pair this with the option to learn multiple languages in a bilingual+ campus and the hands-on experience you can arrange in your fourth year for academic credit, and you have opened the doors to a huge range of careers. Think actuary, construction estimator, transportation planner and beyond.
