This economics bachelor’s degree program equips students with an understanding of how individuals, businesses, governments and nations make choices to advance their economic wellbeing. As economics majors at University of Regina, students develop skills in analytical reasoning, problem solving, data analysis and financial literacy — real leadership thinking.
Economics is a social science concerned with how societies allocate their scarce resources while providing economic well-being for their citizens. It spans key decisions pertaining to the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. While microeconomics focuses on the decisions of individual people and businesses, macroeconomics examines the behaviour of the economy as a whole.
Co-operative education placements and other hands-on learning opportunities add important work experience and help students compete for a wide variety of jobs in public, private and not-for-profit sectors.
