The B.Econ. Honours Concentration in Computational Analysis provides students with a broad foundation in Computer Science which in combination with Economics training equips students with highly marketable skills. The ability to effectively interact with artificial intelligence as well as conduct advanced computer-aided analysis are essential skills for succeeding in the digital era marketplace.
The B.Econ. Honours Concentration in Computational Analysis is normally completed during all four years of full-time study. The concentration-specific courses are entirely drawn from the field of Computer Science and upon graduation students will have completed a substantial part of the major in Computer Science within the B.Econ. Honours program. This combination of training in economic analysis with advanced knowledge of computing and data analysis is well-suited for professions in consulting, financial sector, and research and development (e.g., government think-tanks).
Students looking to gain additional training in data analysis may choose to combine the B.Econ Honours Concentration in Computational Analysis with the B.Econ Honours Concentration in Economic Data Science, the combination of which will provide students with a strong and broad set of skills generally sought by the employers.
