Our Economics Online Course explores current Canadian and international economic issues, policies, and practices from multiple viewpoints. Students examine choices made by individuals, businesses, and governments in response to globalization, trade agreements, inequality, regulation, and public spending. Using economic models, theories, and the economic inquiry process, learners investigate growth, sustainability, and trade-offs. The microeconomics online course encourages critical thinking as students collect and analyze data, evaluate policy options, and form clear, evidence-based opinions. Practical examples and case studies show how economic decisions affect everyday life. By the end, students will better understand economic forces and how to discuss solutions to real-world problems with confidence.
