Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV Requirements
Program admission is limited. Entry is via a formal department application. Students may apply for admission once 30 units have been completed, ECON 201 is completed with at least a C-, the minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is met and the ECON/BUEC program gpa is met.
The department announces the minimum CGPA below which students will not normally be considered for admission to its programs.
Applications with appropriate documentation should be filed with the departmental advisor. Students not accepted upon initial application may reapply.
Continuation in Program
To continue in an economics program, students must maintain a 2.0 CGPA.
Course Information
For a course to fulfil a prerequisite, or for a required course to be accepted in a studentβs economics program, a grade of C- or higher must be obtained.
BUEC courses are offered jointly by the Beedie School of Business and the Department of Economics. They may count for credit in either business administration or economics programs, but not for both.
Access to ECON 402, 403, 435 and 499 is restricted to students who have excelled in their studies (see ECON course descriptions). These advanced courses are recommended for students wishing to pursue more challenging work or who plan to complete an additional degree.

Program Requirements
Students complete the same lower division requirements as a major. The requirements are as follows.
Lower Division Requirements
