Bachelor of Arts (Economics)
Degree Requirements
Total courses:
thirty.
(a) ECON-1100, ECON-1110, ECON-2120, ECON-2210, and ECON-2310; and six 2XXX, 3XXX or 4XXX level courses. (With the approval of a program advisor, equivalent statistics courses may be substituted for ECON-2120.)
(b) STAT-2920, or STAT-2910;
(c) eight courses from outside Social Sciences with at least two from Arts/Languages and two from Sciences;
(d) four courses from any area of study including Economics;
(e) si
x courses from any area of study excluding Economics.
Courses used to calculate the major average are:
courses listed under requirement (a), and any courses taken in the major area(s) of study.
RECOMMENDED COURSE SEQUENCING:
Year 1*
Fall: ECON-1100, plus four courses
Winter: ECON-1110, plus four courses
Year 2
Fall: ECON-2210*, ECON-2310, STAT-2920 (or STAT-2910)*, two courses
Winter: ECON-2120, two economics courses, two other courses
Year 3
Fall: two economics courses, three other courses
