Bachelor of Arts in Economics

Program Overview

Collect and analyze data, research trends, and evaluate economic issues.
The economics program provides students with an in-depth understanding of economic theories, the analysis of economic problems and policies.

Topics covered include Canadian economic policies and the problems of unaffordable housing, unemployment, inflation and social inequality; the economics of natural resource development and the economy of Northern Ontario; environmental policies and the cost-benefit analysis of economic activities; monetary policy and the role and responsibilities of the Bank of Canada; and money, financial markets and international trade.

Students are trained in quantitative data analysis, strategic thinking and decision-making. Tutorial assistance is available weekly. The Economics Student Association is active in organizing social and networking events for students.

Economists study the problem of decision-making using a scientific approach.
We systematically explore economic problems both by developing theories and examining data. At Laurentian, we offer a specialization in economics for students wishing to explore economics in depth, including students who might wish to pursue graduate studies upon completion of their BA degree.

We also offer a major in economics for students who wish to combine the study of economics with that of other subjects such as geography, environmental science or studies, mathematics, history, or political science.

For students who wish to enrol in another program, we offer a concentration, and we offer a minor in economics for students in Social Sciences, Commerce, Sports Administration, and other programs for those who wish to learn the basics of economics while focusing on another subject.
