What it isYou study how people, businesses, and governments make decisions about money, resources, and trade. Economics teaches you to analyze real-world problems — from inflation and unemployment to company strategy — using data and mathematical tools. This program includes co-op work terms, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid jobs in government, finance, or business, giving you practical experience alongside theory.You study how governments, economies, and organizations actually work together, combining business management with political and economic analysis. Unlike a straight business degree, this program integrates policy and political systems into your core learning. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at real employers, letting you test what you learn in actual jobs. It suits people who want business skills but also care about how policy and politics shape markets and management.
