| What it is | This program teaches you how economies work: how people make money, how businesses set prices, how governments manage money and jobs, and why some countries are richer than others. You'll study real-world problems like inflation, unemployment, and trade. It suits people who want to understand financial systems and are interested in business, policy, or finance careers without committing to a narrowly specialized degree. | You study the principles and systems behind how economies work, from personal finance and business decisions to national and global trade. This three-year degree covers economic theory and real-world applications, giving you a broader education than a specialized business program. It suits people curious about how markets, governments, and money shape society, and who want flexibility to move into business, policy, law, or further study afterward. | A Business Economics degree combines the study of how economies work with practical business skills like accounting, finance, and data analysis. Unlike a pure Economics program, you'll spend equal time on business applications and economic theory. This suits students interested in understanding markets, organizations, and financial systems from both theoretical and applied angles. | You study how economies work, how people make financial decisions, and how businesses operate, with courses in accounting, statistics, and related math. The iBA version requires you to complete your degree with significant study in both English and French, while the regular BA has a minimal language requirement. This program suits students interested in understanding markets, policy, and numbers rather than just doing accounting or business management alone. |
