Welcome to Economics at Acadia!

Economics is more than numbers, it’s the study of how choices shape the world. Why do prices rise? How do banks really work? How do government policies ripple across communities, countries, and even your morning coffee purchase? With economics, you’ll learn to see the patterns behind these questions and gain powerful tools to better understand, and improve, the world around you.

At Acadia, you can pursue economics through either a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science. Both offer flexibility: the BA lets you focus on people, policy, and society, while the BSc dives deeper into data, math, and modelling. Economics also pairs seamlessly with other programs, making it easy to pursue a double major in business or other fields.

Hands-on opportunities are everywhere. You can choose co-op to blend theory with real workplace experience, or dive into an honours program where you’ll pursue your own research interests, mentored one-on-one by professors who challenge you to think sharper and aim higher.
