 | ECOMOMICS: PROGRAMS OF STUDY
Bachelor of Arts (Economics)
Bachelor of Arts (Honours Economics)
Bachelor of Arts (Combined Honours Programs)
Only the basic program requirements are set out in this Calendar. All students majoring in economics should consult with an Economics advisor and obtain a copy of Guide to Course Selection for Economics Majors which provides important additional information. Copies may be obtained from the Economics office.
The critical requirement for the four-year Economics Honours is the inclusion of Economics 41-110 and 41-111in the first year of the program. Similarly Economics 41-221, 41-222, 41-231, and 41-232 should be included in the second year of the program.
Students intending to specialize in Economics in a four-year Honours program should satisfy the Mathematics requirements as early as possible in the program.
Bachelor of Arts (Economics)
Total courses: thirty.
Major requirements: eleven courses, including 41-110, 41-111, 41-212, 41-221, and 41-231; and six 200-, 300- or 400-level courses, excluding 41-280 and 41-283. (With the approval of a program advisor, equivalent statistics courses may be substituted for 41-212.)
Other requirements:
(a) 02-250, or 65-205
(b) eight courses from outside Social Sciences (see 2.4) with at least two from Arts/Languages and two from Sciences;

Bachelor of Arts (Honours Economics)

(b) fourteen courses from any area of study, excluding Economics.
Note: Given the important role mathematics and statistics play in economics, selection of particular Mathematics and Statistics courses should depend upon both the student's educational and career objectives and his or her strength in mathematics. In order to avoid later problems students should consult the Guide to Course Selection referred to above. Early discussion with an advisor designated to assist students with course selections in this area is strongly advised.
