Program Overview

Economics helps us understand our world: wages and employment, economic growth, productivity, wealth and poverty, government budgets and taxation, resource exploitation, business practices, inflation, recession and regional economic differences.

Students in the economics program will explore the history and current reality of these issues and develop sound reasoning and problem-solving skills.

The general program offers general exposure to the humanities and social sciences and an opportunity to concentrate studies in at least two subject areas. This program is particularly suited to students who wish to seek employment or enter a professional academic program following graduation from Arts.

Co-operative Education :

The Faculty of Arts Co-operative Education Program is an excellent way for students to enhance their classroom learning with on-the-job experience. Students in anthropology, central and East European studies, economics, German, history, labour studies, linguistics, political studies and psychology can alternate regular academic terms with paid, full-time employment.
