Economics at UNBC recognizes the economy is also influenced by other broader social, political, cultural and technological forces. This means that as well as studying economic theory, students also understand how that theory can be used to make good policy and used in practice.
A degree in Economics gives you knowledge about the economy and set of useful analytical skills which are highly valued by employers. Economists are employed in many areas at all three levels of government, federal (for example, Statistics Canada, Human Resources Canada), provincial, and municipal, as well as in government agencies (such as the Bank of Canada or the United Nations).
Other careers include Economic Development Officers stockbrokers, tax analysts, investment advisors, and bank managers.
UNBC offers Undergraduate and Masters programs of study. Undergrads can choose from Joint Majors such as Economics and Mathematics or Economics and International Studies. Graduate students have a choice of earning a Masters in Development Economics or International Studies.
