What it is	Economics is the study of how people and societies make choices about money, resources, and trade. At Carleton, you can focus your learning on areas like environmental issues, global development, finance, or politics alongside core economic theory and mathematics. The program includes a co-op option, letting you work in relevant jobs between study terms to build practical experience.	This program combines pure mathematics with economics, so you study rigorous mathematical theory alongside how economies work and make decisions. Unlike a straight math or economics degree, you learn to use advanced mathematical tools to solve real economic problems. The co-op requirement means you work in industry or government for paid terms alongside your studies. It suits people who want strong quantitative skills and are curious about how markets and policy actually function.	You study both mathematics and economics together as equal subjects rather than taking one as your major and one as a minor. The program includes mandatory work-study terms where you alternate between classroom learning and paid jobs in related fields. This combination suits people who want to understand how numbers, statistics, and mathematical theory apply to real-world economic problems and policy, and who value hands-on professional experience alongside their degree.
