While economics is a specialized field, it touches nearly every facet of modern life. Fundamentally, it explores how we make logical decisions when faced with limited resources and conflicting priorities. These decision-making challenges affect everyone daily—both as individuals and as members of society.
Carleton's Bachelor of Economics (BEcon) program investigates how market economies function, analyzing factors behind economic expansion, price increases, joblessness, and global commerce. Students can specialize by selecting from eight concentration areas:
Computational Analysis
