Honours Economics (Arts and Business Co-op and Regular)

Students may combine the Honours Economics academic plan with Arts and Business.

Continuation in this academic plan requires a cumulative average of 60% and a cumulative Economics average of 75%.

Eligibility for graduation in the Honours Economics (Arts and Business Co-op and Regular) academic plan includes successful fulfilment of the following requirements:

  1. Appropriate BA Program-level requirements. See "Bachelor of Arts."
  2. Economics Plan-level requirements:
    • at least nine academic course units (18 courses) in Economics with a minimum cumulative average of 75%, including:
      • five additional ECON courses at the 300-level or above
    • Before graduation, all students must demonstrate to the Undergraduate Advisor their proficiency in report and essay writing. This can be accomplished by receiving a passing grade in ECON 472, or by submitting two single-authored term papers, each with a minimum course-weight of 25%, and written in an Economics course. Content exemption from ECON 472 does not reduce the overall 18-course requirement.
  3. See Arts and Business for the Arts and Business requirements.
