BA in Economics

The University of Winnipeg

Economics is the study of how choices made by individuals, business firms, governments, and other organizations determine the way a society’s resources are used. Economics will help you understand how markets work, how choices and tradeoffs are made in the face of limited resources, and how these affect outcomes such as savings, taxation, economic growth, income inequality, healthcare and pollution levels in society. An economics degree will provide you with more than an understanding of how markets and economies function. It will teach you how to systematically analyze a wide range of social issues using theory and data, and will provide you with insights into a number of questions involving politics, law, history, environment, development and resource use. At The University of Winnipeg, an Economics degree means getting ready for the future, offering students a range of flexible skills that helps them to grow. This program leads to a Bachelor of Arts degree (3-year, 4-year, or Honours) with a Major in Economics
