What it is	Economics is the study of how people, businesses, and governments make decisions about money, resources, and trade. You'll learn theories and tools to analyze why markets work the way they do, from individual spending habits to national policies. This program suits people curious about how the world's financial systems operate and who like working with data and logic to solve real-world problems.	You study mathematics and economics together as equally important subjects, learning how to use mathematical methods to analyze economic problems and data. This combined degree differs from studying either subject alone because you build expertise in both fields rather than majoring in one and minoring in the other. It suits students who enjoy both abstract mathematics and real-world applications, and want to prepare for careers in finance, data analysis, or economic research.	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.
