| What it is | This program combines economics and international development to study how communities can build stronger local economies and social systems. Unlike a straight economics degree, you focus on real-world problem-solving in communities rather than theory alone, and you explore how development works across different countries and contexts. It suits people who want to understand economic inequality and help design practical solutions, but prefer learning through applied cases over pure theory. | This program combines the study of global economics, politics, and development issues to understand how countries and communities interact in an interconnected world. You'll examine poverty, trade, governance, and social change across different regions, drawing on economics, political science, and other disciplines. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between classroom semesters and paid work placements with organizations focused on international development or global affairs, making it a fit for students who want practical experience alongside theory. |
