Introduction

The BA in Economics is recommended for students planning careers which require economic analysis.

Admission

First Year Admission to Economics

In addition to meeting requirements for admission to the Faculty of Social Sciences (see 3.1 Admissions) all programs offered by the Department of Economics have a fixed number of places for students. For any program, whenever demand exceeds capacity enrolment will be limited and students will be admitted on a competitive basis.

Admission for Continuing and Transfer Students

In addition to meeting the requirements for admission to the Faculty of Social Sciences, students transferring from other faculties and institutions must meet the competitive admission requirements in place for this program. Students already admitted to the Faculty of Social Sciences but are applying to change their program to Economics must also meet the competitive admission requirements. All applicants should note that all programs offered by the Department of Economics have a fixed number of places for students. Spring and Summer Term courses taken after May 1 in the year of application will not count towards determining admissibility.
