Bachelor of Arts in Economics (Honors)

Huron University College

Economics at Huron is about much more than numbers and finances – it’s essential to our understanding of complex contemporary issues. We broaden the discipline to help students understand historical trends, interpret today’s headlines and make predictions for coming decades. An Economics Major will provide a strong foundation in economic concepts and tools. The required and elective courses will help students develop the capacity to apply these concepts tangibly within local and global economies. Students will learn how economics influences humanity, as well as how to affect economic change through public policy.The Honors Specialization is designed for students who want to take a deeper dive into the subject matter and focus intensively on better understanding how various economic factors influence human life. Students who pursue this pointed exploration into our global economies may wish to work as professional economists or may be interested in careers in business, commerce, finance or government. These programs combine theoretical studies with applied work in the discipline, and will also provide a great foundation for those who wish to pursue post-graduate studies in Economics.
