Business Economics - Atkinson
Economics
Contact: Ida Ferrara
The Business Economics program offered by the Economics unit within the Atkinson Faculty of Liberal and Professional Studies integrates aspects of economics and business studies, focusing on the use of economic analysis and statistical methods to deal effectively with management problems in applied business fields. In applying economic theory to business management, students become familiar with the analytical and decision making techniques used in the business world, and with the public and private institutional environments within which businesses operate. Students will gain economic insight into critical business topics such as strategic competition, the internal organization of firms, and international issues facing businesses in the changing global marketplace. Students can pursue a degree in Business Economics at the BA level or at the BA Specialized Honours level.
