About the course

As a social science concerned with the efficient use of resources in production, exchange and consumption, students from dozens of countries arrive here to gain a better understanding of how local and global economies thrive. They end up graduating with the confidence and knowledge they need to enter the professional world of economics.Economics professors at CBU are dedicated and engaged professionals who stay on top of developments in the global economy. This gives students an up-to-date flow of knowledge regarding the creation and distribution of wealth, labour disputes, unemployment, inflation, taxes, oil prices and international trade. And that?s just to start. Our modern facilities and comprehensive curriculum ensure you have what you need to achieve true economic success in the real world.

　　At CBU, students have access to various experiential learning opportunities and are encouraged to actively participate in class. Our exchange program provides students with the chance to travel to other countries to gain global experience relating to the study of economics.

　　Another great aspect, among many here in Cape Breton, is the sense of community, and the friendly, approachable people. People who, even if they aren?t from here, have adopted our warm, welcoming island lifestyle as their own. Because of that, it?s a place where CBU students and faculty get to know each other on a professional and personal basis.
