        As the 21st century unfolds, the issues of international development and globalization are central to the future world order: the way in which the underlying economic challenges are resolved will fundamentally change our society. The International Economics and Development Program is built on a variety of economics courses that provide insight into the way in which globalization affects individuals, industry, the public sector and entire nations. The understanding it provides of economic concepts is framed by an awareness of the factors that shape economic growth and development, in both emerging and industrialized economies.

        This program is offered in English and in French.

            Note(s)

            1

            Students who intend to pursue graduate studies in economics should select MAT 1300 or the sequence MAT 1320 and MAT 1322. A strong background in mathematics helps students succeed in advanced courses and graduate studies in economics.

            2

            Students who intend to participate in the CO-OP program should take ECO 2150 and ECO 2151 in their second year.

            3

            ECO 3145, ECO 3152 and ECO 3153 are strongly recommended for studies in the Master's in Economics.
