Economics

Learn the practical skills of data analysis combined with the interpretive dexterity provided by advanced knowledge of economic theory and policy. (Co-op option)

Welcome to the Department of Management at the University of Toronto Scarborough!

Economics examines the market forces of supply and demand. Its theories seek to predict and explain the behaviour and interaction of all agents involved in a market system. U of T Scarborough's Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) Specialist Program in Economics for Management Studies, with optional co-op, teaches students how consumers and producers interact in a market economy to provide goods and services, how this process grows and changes over time, and under what circumstances it may fail to function in an optimal fashion. Economic policies to remedy those failures are also examined.

The program is designed to allow students to learn practical skills of data analysis and to combine them with the interpretive dexterity provided by knowledge of economic theory. In addition to the BBA Specialist in Economics for Management Studies, U of T Scarborough provides a Bachelor of Arts (BA) stream in Economics that gives students the flexibility to have a greater focus on economic theory and policy if they so choose.
