Bachelor of Arts - Economics - General

The Bachelor of Arts - Economics - General at Algoma University's Brampton campus is a three-year bachelor's degree that gives you a strong, career-focused education in this field.

You will study how economies work — from individual markets and consumer behaviour to national policy, trade, money and growth — developing strong analytical, quantitative and reasoning skills. The program combines economic theory with data analysis and real-world application, preparing you to interpret trends and inform decisions. Graduates work as economic and financial analysts, policy and market-research analysts, and in banking, government and business, and the degree is excellent preparation for graduate study in economics, finance, business and public policy.

At Algoma's Brampton campus you benefit from small classes, strong scholarships and individual attention, and as a public-university degree the program keeps you eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit after you graduate.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Economic / Financial Analyst, Policy Analyst and Market Research Analyst, gaining a mix of theory, applied projects and real Canadian experience that employers value.

Beyond subject knowledge, you will build the communication, teamwork, research and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and set you up for long-term success in Canada and around the world.

With small class sizes, supportive faculty and one of Canada's most generous scholarship programs, international students at Algoma get personal attention, hands-on learning and a genuinely welcoming place to study.
