The General Program at UWO offers students one of the best three-year economic degrees available in Canada. The program centers around a solid core of courses in micro- and macroeconomic theory, but also provides great flexibility for students to pursue their own interests. There is a wide selection of optional courses, and the area of concentration in Economics can be combined with many other areas of concentration in the University. The Honors Program is available for students who have a desire to specialize in Economics as undergraduates and who can maintain high grades. It will be attractive to those who have strong analytical skills, enjoy abstract reasoning, like logical arguments, and are intrigued by the economic issues of the day.
