The Department of Economics at Memorial University is a leading organization in Atlantic Canada. Founded in 1967, we have a longstanding reputation and history for excellence in undergraduate and graduate learning, conducting impactful scholarly research, and engaging with governments and other stakeholders on regional economic and policy issues that matter to our communities.

Our team of administrative faculty and staff are passionate about student success and always ready to help students as they navigate their studies and prepare for rewarding careers.

We are headed by Dr. Lynn Gambin, who grew up in Dunville, NL and obtained her bachelor's and master's degrees in economics from Memorial University before pursuing doctoral studies as a Rothermere Fellow at the University of York, UK. Learn more about Dr. Gambin in her message from the head.
