Description:Economics may be a specialized area of knowledge, but it is relevant to almost every aspect of our lives.

The need to make such choices pervades the day-to-day lives of all of us—as individuals and in society as a whole.

If you are an Honours or Applied Honours student interested in a career in banking or finance, you may add a concentration in Financial Economics. If you are interested in a career in the foreign service or in an international governmental or non-governmental organization, you may add a concentration in either International Political Economy or Development. Those with a strong interest in environmental and natural resource issues may add a concentration in Natural Resources, Environment and Economy. A specialization in Quantitative and Mathematical Economics is also available to Honours students.
