What it is	A joint honours program combining mathematics and economics means you study both subjects equally throughout four years, learning to use mathematical methods to solve economic problems and understand quantitative analysis. Unlike a major-minor combination, you complete a full degree's worth of courses in each field. This program offers a co-op option, letting you work in related jobs during your studies. It suits people drawn to both abstract mathematics and real-world applications in business, policy, or finance.	International Studies is a degree where you combine courses from fields like economics, history, business, and development to understand global issues and how different countries interact. The iBA option includes a mandatory year abroad at a partner university, immersing you in another culture while continuing your studies, whereas the regular BA keeps you on campus. It suits students who want broader perspectives on world problems rather than specializing in a single discipline, and who are curious about how global systems actually work.	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.
