Specialized Honours BA Program

The Department of Economics offers a limited enrolment Specialized Honours BA Program in Economics and Business. Students who have taken 12 prerequisite credits with the required minimum program averages are encouraged to apply for admission to the program in January of the academic session in which they are completing their first year (normally 24 to 30 credits). The required average in the prerequisites (and any additional core courses) is B or 6.0, and the required overall average is C+ or 5.0. Applications received after the deadlines--the first Monday in February and before August 1--may be wait-listed. Because competition is keen, admission is not guaranteed for all students with the minimum requirements.

Students must maintain a grade point average of at least 6.0 (B) in all required courses in order to continue in, and graduate from, the program. Because some of the program's core and area of concentration courses have specific prerequisites, students may be required to complete additional courses to fulfill the economics and business requirements. Students are encouraged to regularly review degree requirements. Appointments can be made by contacting Economics and Business, 1144 Vari Hall, 416-736-5322.

Students majoring in economics and business must complete 78 credits in the program, as outlined below.
