Queen's Economics Department maintains a distinguished legacy as one of Canada's premier institutions for economic education and research. Our undergraduate curriculum encourages an in-depth exploration of diverse economic topics, focusing particularly on modern analytical frameworks and methodologies. Students specializing in economics or applied economics will engage with advanced economic theories, statistical methods, economic history, and practical applications in areas including public policy, international economics, environmental economics, business fluctuations, employment markets, and comparative economic systems. At Queen's, economics majors develop a robust set of analytical, quantitative, technical, and communication abilities that serve as strong foundations for various postgraduate paths and professional pursuits. Alumni from our program have continued their education through graduate studies in economics and professional degrees in fields like finance, business, public policy, law, labor relations, technology, and environmental management, while others have launched successful careers in corporate settings, NGOs, and government agencies at municipal, provincial, and federal levels.
