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 academic plan includes successful fulfillment of the following requirements:
- Appropriate BA Program-level requirements. See Bachelor of Arts.
- Economics Plan-level requirements:
- at least nine academic course units (18 courses) in Economics with a minimum cumulative average of 75%, including:
- ECON 101, 102, 201, 202, 211, 221, 301, 302, 321, 401, 402
- 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.
