| Get ready to wrestle with important and complex questions: How do you turn a poor country into a rich country? How can we avoid another global financial crisis? What’s the best way for governments to stimulate new industries like biotechnology and green energy? In first year, you’ll cover the fundamentals of micro- and macro-economics. In upper years, you can analyze how those principles play out in a wide range of sectors, including public policy, labour economics, health economics, finance, sport, and more. Whether you’re aiming to work in the public sector, the private sector, or academia, your Economics degree from Waterloo will give you the skills and knowledge you need.
Apply to Honours Arts and Business and choose Economics as your major at the end of first year. Co-op available beginning in second year. By alternating school terms and paid co-op work terms throughout your degree, you can explore careers and types of employers in Economics as your career interests evolve.
