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.You study the causes, effects, and solutions to conflict at local, national, and global scales, drawing on geography, politics, development, and social policy.
