Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Finance (Honours)

The University of Winnipeg

Economics and Finance is the study of the role that financial instruments and financial markets play in a modern market economy. Knowledge of Economics and Finance is critical to an understanding of the way in which investors, private firms and governments use financial instruments and markets. Economics and Finance analyzes how financial instruments and markets can contribute to the well-being of all members of society. These instruments and markets allow individuals to invest in private firms, entrepreneurs to expand their businesses, and public officials to manage their debt. Economics and Finance also studies approaches to regulating these markets in order to ensure they operate for the benefit of all stakeholders in the economy.This program leads to either a Bachelor of Arts degree (4-year) or a Bachelor of Business and Administration (4-year), with the choice depending on the particular interests and focus of the student.
