What will I learn?

The Economics program offers training in core economic theory courses as well as a number of field options. We offer a non-thesis option that it is the standard in most graduate Economics programs in North America. This option consists of eight half courses and an extended research paper. Many students will take six courses during their first year (three in fall, three in winter) two courses in the fall of the second year and complete their extended paper in the winter of the second year. Economics is the study of resource choices and how we make decisions about what to produce, how to produce it and how we distribute it.
