Economics: more than numbers
Economics is about more than numbers—it's about finding the story behind those numbers.
It’s a way of thinking and a set of powerful quantitative and analytic tools that help you understand the impact of the decisions we make every day.
We focus on essential issues like poverty, climate change, housing markets, financial crises, immigration, health care, and much more. Our faculty are exploring topics such as doping in sports, ticket sales and resale markets, and the intergenerational impacts of residential schools.
Territory acknowledgment
We acknowledge with respect the Lekwungen peoples on whose traditional territory the university stands and the Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
