• The BA Honours in Economics can be taken with Co-operative Education. See section 3.4.4 Co-operative Education Programs for information and requirements.
• The BA Honours in Economics can be taken with a “Concentration in Applied Energy Economics” (see section 4.20.4).

Notes:

• If a student has an acceptable Minor Field or a concentration of at least 18 units, the Undergraduate Director may reduce the number of courses in Economics required for Honours below 60 units. In all cases, the student must have at least 48 units and meet requirements 1-3.
• Students are advised to take Mathematics 211, Economics 357 and 395 early in their programs of study because these courses are prerequisites for many 400- and 500-level economics courses.
