Arts Academic Plans

Economics

Honours Economics

Continuation in this academic plan requires a cumulative average of 60% and a cumulative Economics average of 75%. Both regular and co-operative versions of this plan are available.

Eligibility for graduation in the Honours Economics academic plan includes successful fulfillment of the following requirements:

  1. Appropriate Program-level requirements. See Bachelor of Arts Degree Requirements.
  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.

Note:

Students in any Economics academic plan are not eligible to take the Environment and Economics Minor.
