ECON 111 and a junior course in calculus are the prerequisites for all 300- and 400-level Economics courses.
ECON 204.6 (or equivalent) is required for all 3 or 4 year and honours degrees in economics. Students who choose alternatives to ECON 204.6 must receive permission from the department.
The requirement of ECON 305 for the honours program can be met by a course in linear algebra e.g., MATH 264 or 266. The requirement of ECON 306 can be met by a course in the calculus of multiple variables e.g., MATH 225. Other mathematics classes may satisfy the equivalency criteria; students should consult with the Head of the Department.
The ECON 305 and 306 equivalency courses in mathematics may not be used to satisfy:
a) the 300- or 400-level requirement for the B.A. Three-year degree,
b) requirement B6 for Business Economics, or,
c) the requirements for a minor in Economics.
Students who satisfy the ECON 305 and 306 equivalency in mathematics may not subsequently take ECON 305 and 306 for credit. However, students who already have credit for ECON 305 and 306 shall not be precluded from taking the mathematics equivalency classes for elective credit and they shall not lose credit for ECON 305 and 306.
The 6 credit units in mathematics that satisfy the equivalency criteria for ECON 305 and 306 shall be counted as if they were economics courses in order to satisfy the minimum number of economics courses required for any degree in economics and the grades in these mathematics courses will be included in the economics grade average.

Post Degree Specialization Certificate in Economics
To be eligible for a Post Degree Specialization Certificate in Economics, students must have successfully completed a university degree in some other discipline. (Students with a Bachelor of Arts would not be eligible for the PDSC because such students would be eligible to complete the Four-year degree or Advanced Certificate in Economics.) The program requires completion of at least 30 credit units from the College of Arts & Science including completion of the department's discipline requirements, promotion and graduation standards, for a Four-year major in Economics. The program requires completion of ECON 111, 114, 204, 211 or 213, 214, 12 credit units in ECON at the 300- or 400-level, and 6 additional credit units in ECON.

Minor in Economics
This minor may be taken in conjunction with a Four-year major or Honours program in any subject area excluding Economics or Business Economics.
Requirements
- 15 additional credit units in economics
It is recommended that students also take ECON 211.3 or ECON 213.3, and ECON 214.3. Students considering further studies in economics should include these courses in their program.
Business Economics Program
The Business Economics Program combines courses in the Department of Economics and the Edwards School of Business to produce a degree which provides the student with a rigorous background in both economics and commerce, with special emphasis in economics, so as to prepare students for the world of business, finance, and public service. Students trained in our program will be able to apply their specialized knowledge to practical economic problems in their chosen area of employment. Moreover, they will be better equipped to enter the private and public sectors as business economists. In addition, in this program the student becomes familiarized with both economics and commerce from a liberal arts perspective thereby providing the students with a unique, valuable and flexible approach to these areas of study.
Registering in the Business Economics Program
Students interested in registering in the Business Economics Program MUST apply directly to the Department of Economics. The deadline to apply is December 31 each year.
Bachelor of Arts Four-year (B.A. Four-year) - Business Economics
Whether a student earns an Honours or a Four-year major degree in the Business Economics Program depends on their C.W.A. and whether the student takes the required six credit-unit 400-level course for the honours degree.
