Recent years have witnessed an increase in the popularity of economics. This has been precipitated by global events as well as research that has attracted public attention and challenged the traditional confines of the discipline. The Department of Economics at the University of Waterloo offers undergraduate and graduate courses designed to communicate these exciting developments and equip students with contemporary skills that are applicable to the private and public sectors as well as for further studies.
In conjunction with the university, our department offers the possibility of pursuing undergraduate and graduate studies with co-operative work terms intended at giving students actual work experience during their university tenure.
We are committed to high quality instruction with easy access to faculty. Our faculty is particularly strong in applied policy research with strengths in the areas of health, labour, finance, environment, and industrial organization. Their research has been published widely in a variety of peer reviewed academic journals as well as reports commissioned by federal and provincial governments.
We thank you for visiting us and invite you to explore this site in greater detail.
Alain-Désiré Nimubona
You could say Alain-Désiré Nimubona is caught between a rock and a hard place. As an environmental economist —
in a small, but growing discipline — he tries to balance protecting the environment with sustaining the economy.
