Students may combine the Honours Economics academic plan with Arts and Business. In addition to the Honours Economics requirements, students must also complete the Arts and Business requirements.

Honours Double Majors

Honours Economics may be taken in combination with most Arts majors in which an honours major is offered or with many honours majors in other faculties. For further information, see the double majors section of Available Arts Academic Plans.

Intensive Specialization

In combination with the Honours Economics plan-level requirements listed above, students interested in pursuing the Intensive Specialization will be required to fulfil the following requirements:

• A minimum cumulative Economics major average of 75%.
• Successful completion of five additional courses, for a total of 10.5 academic course units (21 courses) in Economics:
  • ECON 392, ECON 421, ECON 472, ECON 491, ECON 496

Notes

1. The Intensive Specialization is only open to students majoring in the Honours Economics academic plan.
2. Students must achieve a minimum cumulative major average of 75% in all Economics courses counted towards their Honours Economics major.
3. Students who have completed courses towards this specialization but are not able to sustain the required 75% minimum cumulative major average but are still eligible for honours standing will normally be allowed to continue in the Honours Economics major but without the specialization.
