Bachelor of Arts in Economics

Economics analyzes how societies provide for their well-being, and examines the choices and tradeoffs that are made in the face of limited resources. You’ll study the competition and cooperation that arises among individuals, private organizations, and governments in the process of allocating scarce resources for a variety of different uses. Economics also offers insight into politics, law, history, environment, and development. The undergraduate study of economics provides a comprehensive understanding of how the economy operates at both micro- and macro-levels. Using an analytical, problem-solving approach, students learn the theoretical, empirical and institutional aspects of modern economics, and can apply these tools to make informed judgments about current economic policies.

You are a current high school student studying at a school in another Canadian province, and expect to graduate from grade 12 (or equivalent).
