We are now offering two new undergraduate programs and will offer a new graduate program in Fall 2007.
- Honours BA-Applied Economics
This new program provides students with the opportunity to develop a sound knowledge of economic analysis and its application to a broad range of policy issues and problems. The program can be combined with the Administration option or with another Honours BA program. - Honours BA-Philosophy, Political Science and Economics (PPE).
This new program, designed for a small number of highly-qualified students provides a demanding and broad liberal arts education. PPE students will be introduced to the great ideas, the great thinkers, and the most important approaches within the study of public life. - Masters in International Public Policy (MIPP) will commence in Fall 2007 (subject to the approval of OCGS)
This interdisciplinary one-year master's program in international public policy provides graduate training for individuals looking to pursue or enhance careers in international or global policy development, implementation and evaluation.
