Two 400 division ECON courses (excluding ECON 402, 403, 431, 435)
* honours students who have successfully completed both MATH 232 and 251 need not complete ECON 331. However, at least 50 upper division units in economics must still be completed.
Early Access to Upper Division Courses
Students normally cannot enter ECON upper division courses during the first 60 units, but for those who have the minimum Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV grade point average required to access upper division ECON courses, the following exceptions are permitted.
Students who earn a grade of A- or better at Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV on their first attempt in ECON 201 may enroll for ECON 302 and 305, and all courses for which they have satisfied the prerequisites, once 30 units is completed.
Students who earn an A- grade or better at Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV on their first attempt in ECON 233 or BUS 232 or STAT 270 may enroll in ECON 333 once they have completed 30 units. These upper division courses will count towards Department of Economics and Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV upper division requirements. See ECON course descriptions for access information.
Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Honours Degree Requirements
For all bachelor of arts (BA) honours programs, students complete at least 120 units, which includes
- at least 60 units that must be completed at Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV
- satisfaction of the writing, quantitative, and breadth requirements
- students complete at least 60 upper division units, which must include at leastΜύ48 units in upper division courses in a Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences honours program; no more than 15 upper division units that have been transferred from another institution can be used toward this requirement
- at least 65 units (including 21 upper division units) in Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences courses
- students complete lower division requirements for at least one Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences honours program
- students are required to achieve an overall cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and upper division CGPA of at least 3.0, and an honours program CGPA and upper division CGPA of at least 3.0
Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements
Students admitted to Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV beginning in the fall 2006 term must meet writing, quantitative and breadth requirements as part of any degree program they may undertake. See Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements for university-wide information.
