Students start in the Social Sciences Level 1 program or Economics 1 program and apply to the Honours BA Specialist Program at the end of their first year. Students must complete the requirements of any Level 1 program with a Grade Point Average of 5.0 (C), including an average of 5.0 (C) in ECON 1B03, and a weighted average of at least 5.0 in ECON 1B03,1BB3, COMPSCI 1MD3, 1JC3, 1XC3 and 1DM3; MATH 1A03, 1AA3, and 1B03. MATH 1B03 may be postponed until Level 2.

For students enrolled in a program beyond Level I, admission to Levels II, III and IV of Honours Economics programs requires an average of at least 5.0 in ECON 2G03, 2GG3 (or 2Z03, 2ZZ3), 2H03 and 2HH3, in addition to the required Grade Point Average (GPA) as stated in the Minimum Requirement for Entering and Continuing in a Program Beyond Level I in the Faculty of Social Sciences Academic Regulations. Students enrolled in Levels II, III and IV cannot gain admission to Honours Economics programs by upgrading ECON 1B03 or 1BB3 .

COMMERCE 2FA3 may be substituted for ECON 2I03 and COMMERCE 2QA3 may be substituted for ECON 2B03.

Students with prior credit in a statistics course recognized as an alternative to ECON 2B03 are exempt from this requirement. Those students can take ECON 3EE3 (formerly 3U03) only if they achieved a grade of at least B+ in an alternative statistics course. There is no such grade requirement for ECON 3E03 (formerly 3WW3). See ECON 3EE3 (formerly 3U03) in the Course Listings section of this Calendar for a list of recognized alternative statistics courses. Students must complete STATS 1LL3 (formerly STATS 1L03) before taking ECON 3EE3 (formerly 3U03.)
