Economics
Economics
is the study of humanity in the ordinary business of life. It seeks to
establish principles for investigating how resource constraints
influence the behaviour of individuals, firms, organizations and the
government. At Acadia there is a deliberate blending of theory with
application, providing students with the analytical tools required for
a greater understanding of economic relations and motivations. It shows
how and where these tools can be applied in the economic, social and
political dimensions of society. Students can combine economics with
other areas of study including business, mathematics or computer
science. Economics often leads to careers in banking, provincial,
federal and municipal governments, law, consulting and numerous private
sector firms, or to graduate studies in such fields as economics,
public policy, international relations, environmental policy and law.
