Dual Degree - Bachelor of Arts - Economics & Bachelor of Commerce (PAB)

Students may register in a Bachelor of Commerce with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics degree simultaneously.

The Bachelor of Commerce will prepare students for a career and life in general. It gives a wholesome approach to learning that gives students more than a degree. Along with core business knowledge, they will develop professional and social skills. The program’s combination of theoretical background, practical skills, real experience, and techniques to hone independent thinking and problem solving skills will give graduates an advantage and a better chance of success in a competitive market.

Economics at Nipissing will introduce students to theories and economic models, giving them a solid framework for understanding how the world works. The structure of the Canadian economy, public policy, money, banking and financial institutions, the labour market, and the inter-dependence of nations in the global economy are all topics students will come to grasp with confidence.

Students will be introduced to theories and policies related to Canadian and international economic development, and will examine social science issues like poverty, inequality, education, health, migration, agriculture and foreign aid.​
