Department of Economics, College of Social and Applied Human Sciences.

The study of Management Economics provides a suitable education for a career in the business world or in the public service, and it also constitutes a useful preparation for more advanced study, including graduate work in economics, business administration, law and public policy. The programs below combine the analytical orientation of economics with basic skills in accounting, finance and marketing and insights gained from the social and physical sciences. Students interested in a more detailed study of economics should consult the calendar entry under that title in the B.A. degree, while students interested in a more detailed management program should consult the entry under Management Economics in the B.Comm. degree.

These programs are administered by the Department of Economics and students are urged to consult departmental advisors. An up to date program planning guide is available at the Department of Economics. Students are advised to note that most courses carry prerequisites. Prerequisites not listed in the program cannot be counted towards the specializations.

Note: students who major in Management Economics who fail a required course in the program twice will not be permitted to continue in the major.

Notes

1. A student may obtain permission to substitute certain other courses for the ones listed above. Permission will only be granted if the substitute courses fit with the student's program. Approval from a departmental advisor is required.

2. Students intending to pursue graduate studies in Economics are strongly advised to take ECON*4710, ECON*4810, ECON*4840.

3. ECON*4800 may not be counted as a 4000 level course for purposes of satisfying the minimum 4000 level course requirements in the B.A. Honours Economics or Management Economics programs. One only of ECON*4900/ECON*4910 may count as one of the required minimum number of 4000 level Economics courses in the B.A. program.

4. No student may receive credit in this program for more than one of ECON*2200 , ECON*3200. Students planning to use statistics as one of their areas of study should see the departmental advisor about possible substitutes for ECON*2740.
