Economics Minor
¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Requirements
Program admission is limited. Entry is via a formal department application. Students may apply for admission to the minor program once 30 units have been completed, ECON 103 and 105 are completed with at least a C- grade in each course, 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 student’s economics program, a grade of C- or higher must be obtained.
BUEC courses are offered jointly by the Faculty of Business Administration 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 499W 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 an additional degree.
Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Requirements
Students should fulfil Faculty requirements early in their programs and obtain broadly based backgrounds before entering upper division courses.
For a course to fulfil a prerequisite, or for a required course to be accepted in an economics program students must have a grade of C- or higher.
