Program Summary

WHO SHOULD STUDY ECONOMICS?

Economics is the study of the allocation of scarce
resources (including: our time, our energy, our built
capital, and our natural resources). Economics
examines ways to get the most benefit out of our
resources. If you are interested in a structured
system of thought that allows for rational, well-
thought decision making, economics will interest you.

Economics will be of interest to students who intend
to transfer to a full economics program at another
university, business students and those looking for a
well-rounded education. Economists play important
roles in: government (all departments), banks, other
financial institutions and research centres.
