Bachelor of Arts - Economics - General

The Bachelor of Arts - Economics - General at Algoma University's Sault Ste. Marie 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.

Delivered at Algoma University's welcoming Sault Ste. Marie campus with small classes and personal support, and — as a degree from a public Canadian university — it keeps graduates eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit without the field-of-study restrictions that apply to college programs.

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.
