and must take 15 credits chosen from outside the departments of Economics and Computer Science, of which at least six credits must be at the 3000 or 4000 level.

General Education and Bilingual Requirements

Every student at Glendon shall complete before graduation the equivalent of at least six credits in each of three of the four general education divisions: humanities, modes of reasoning, natural science, social science. At least six of these 18 credits must be at the 3000 or 4000 level. For detailed information about these divisions, see the description under multidisciplinary studies.

Students can minimize the total number of credits required to graduate in this program by choosing courses in their third and fourth year that are also cross-listed into natural science, social science or humanities; such courses will simultaneously meet GL/BUEC/ITEC and general education requirements. Nevertheless, students registering in the double major should be aware that they will probably need to take more than the normal 120 credits required for an Honours degree in order to complete the double major.

In addition to the 117 credits required by the joint program, Glendon regulations require students to take courses in English and/or French as a second language. Students capable of doing so may be able to meet these requirements by taking a sufficient number of either business economics or information technology courses in their second language.

Students are strongly advised to consult both the departments of Economics and Computer Science while planning their program.
