This is an economics-centred major for anyone interested in how governments can affect economies in a globalised world.
The major focuses on the analytical tools you'll need to design and evaluate public policies. Core courses examine public finance and regulatory economics, while electives include advanced microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics and a range of policy courses.
