A Joint Honours academic plan with Economics may be taken in combination with most Arts disciplines in which an Honours academic plan is offered or with many Honours majors in other Faculties.
Continuation in this academic plan requires a cumulative average of 60% and a cumulative Economics average of 75%.
Eligibility for graduation in the Joint Honours Economics academic plan includes successful fulfillment of the following requirements:
- Appropriate Program-level requirements for the Home Faculty, including at least 20 academic course units (40 courses). If the Home Faculty is Arts, see Bachelor of Arts Degree Requirements.
- Economics Plan-level requirements:
- at least seven academic course units (14 courses) in Economics with a minimum cumulative average of 75%, including:
- ECON 101, 102, 201, 202, 211, 221, 301, 302, 321, 401, 402
- two 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 14-course requirement.
- Plan-level requirements for the second major.
