About the Academic Unit:
The Department of Economics is housed in Carleton University’s Faculty of Public Affairs. It offers the Bachelor of Economics (Honours and General), as well as the International Economic Policy and Global Development specializations in the Bachelor of Global and International Studies to approximately 1000 students within the Faculty of Public Affairs. The Bachelor of Economics allows students to pursue a number of concentrations including computational analysis, economic theory, financial economics and natural resources, environment and the economy. The Department also offers an M.A. in Economics, and in partnership with the University of Ottawa, a Ph.D. in Economics through the Ottawa Carleton Graduate School of Economics.
