Study a minor in Economics at King's

We participate in economic systems every day. In Canada and around the world, we face important economic issues such as poverty, unemployment, and environmental degradation. Studying economics empowers us to make responsible choices and find solutions for systems that are unjust or out of balance.

Inside this program

Think Globally

Gain insights into the global economy and the institutions and systems that support it. Consider how social, political, and environmental issues connect back to economic realities, and imagine possibilities for alternative models and systems.

Discover How You Fit

Big-picture economic phenomena not only affect national governments and large corporations but how you participate in the marketplace too. Studying economics makes it clear that it's important to approach our own financial activity with care, love, and intention.

Work For Justice and Renewal

Consider how social, political, and environmental issues are intertwined with economic activity. Just as economic systems can be oppressive or harmful, they can also promote justice, peace, and the integrity of creation.
