About the Program
Have you ever wondered how societies should best respond to the threat of climate change, or how we can design policies that reduce poverty and income inequality? Economics can help you understand these questions and the decisions that shape our world.
From housing affordability to global trade, you'll explore the economic forces that influence people's lives and communities in the heart of Canada's economic capital. Through data analysis, research and critical thinking, our globally focused economics program will help you develop valuable skills that can prepare you for in-demand careers in business, finance, government and beyond.
