Program information
Program overview
Economics is a social science that encompasses a broad range of human behaviour and has a strong influence on the structure well-being and development of a society Much of human activity is directed towards the satisfaction of material wants In many areas of the world the greater part of human effort must be directed towards meeting the most elemental demands for food clothing and shelter Even in technologically advanced societies where these basic requirements can be met with comparative ease the desire for more goods and services never appears to be fully satisfied In consequence every society - whatever its political orientation - is both competitive and cooperative It is competitive because its members contend with one another to satisfy their individual wants from a limited supply of productive resources It is cooperative because the greatest supply of goods is available when the activity of producing them is coordinated and organized Economics deals with any issue arising out of the conflict between the demand for goods and services and a limited supply of resources to satisfy those demands Undergraduate training in economics is intended to familiarize students with the discipline of economic thinking to equip them to better understand human behaviour and for the intelligent appraisal of contemporary economic problems Economics makes considerable use of mathematics in its enquiries All economics programs require at least one course in mathematics
