Today, economists are turning to sophisticated mathematical models to understand and predict economic behaviour. Meanwhile, the problems that come up in economics have driven many advances in mathematics. 

This program is jointly offered by the Faculty of Mathematics and the Department of Economics in the Faculty of Arts. 

Over the course of their degree, students will become an expert at using differential calculus, differential equations, and mathematical optimization to understand economic behaviour. Students who enroll in the co-op stream, they can add paid work experience on top that. 

Students will graduate ready for a career with banks, government, or industry, or for a master’s or PhD program.
