Note 1Note: MAT133Y1 is not a suitable substitute for (MAT130H1/ MAT135H1, MAT136H1)/ (MAT148H1, MAT149H1)/ MAT137Y1/ (MAT158H1, MAT159H1)/ MAT157Y1

Second Year (Core Courses, 3.0 credits):

ECO206Y1, ECO208Y1, ECO220Y1/ ECO227Y1/ (STA257H1, STA261H1)

Third Year (Core Courses, 1.5 credits):

ECO325H1, ECO326H1, ECO375H1

Third Year and Higher (ECO Electives, 5.5 credits):

14.5 credits from 300-level or higher ECO courses

21.0 credit from 400-level ECO courses

Students in this program have the option to complete the Arts & Science Internship Program (ASIP) stream.

Notes:

Note 1A minimum of 70% is required in ECO101H1 and ECO102H1 to meet prerequisites for specialist-level intermediate ECO courses (ECO206Y1, ECO208Y1, ECO227Y1).

Note 2ECO210H1 is highly recommended, especially for students interested in graduate studies. Students may count ECO210H1 towards the Specialist program in lieu of a 0.5 credit 300-level ECO elective.

Note 3While 200-level or higher math or statistics courses may complement the Economics Specialist courses, they cannot be used as substitutes for economics courses in this program.

Note 4Students are nevertheless encouraged to take more math if they plan on pursuing graduate studies. Students should especially consider MAT221H1/ MAT223H1/ MAT240H1 (Linear Algebra), (MAT235H1, MAT236H1)/ MAT235Y1/ MAT237Y1 (Multivariate Calculus), MAT246H1 (Abstract Mathematics), or even consider doing a Minor program in Mathematics.

Note 5ECO475H1 is strongly recommended.

Note 6STA302H1/ STA303H1 are not accepted in lieu of ECO375H1.

Note 7(STA237H1, STA238H1) are not accepted in lieu of ECO220Y1/ ECO227Y1/ (STA257H1, STA261H1).

Note 8CSC108H1/ CSC148H1/ CSC110Y1 (introductory programming) is strongly recommended for students interested in graduate studies.

Program Course Requirements: 7.0 credits

First Year (2.0 credits):

1(ECO101H1, ECO102H1)/ ECO105Y1;

2MAT133Y1/ (MAT130H1/ MAT135H1, MAT136H1)/ (MAT148H1, MAT149H1)/ MAT137Y1/ (MAT158H1, MAT159H1)/ MAT157Y1

Second Year (Core Courses, 3.0 credits):

1ECO200Y1/ ECO204Y1/ ECO206Y1,

2ECO202Y1/ ECO208Y1/ ECO209Y1,

3ECO220Y1/ ECO227Y1/ (STA237H1, STA238H1)/ (STA247H1, STA248H1)/ (STA257H1, STA261H1)

Third and Higher Years (ECO Electives, 2.0 credits):

11.5 credits from 300+ level ECO courses

2At least a 0.5 credit 400-level ECO course

Students in this program have the option to complete the Arts & Science Internship Program (ASIP) stream.

Notes:

Note 1Eligibility for all Economics programs is based, in part, on attaining a minimum grade in ECO101H1 and ECO102H1 (or ECO105Y1). Students are reminded that in order to achieve the required minimum grade in the above-mentioned courses, they may repeat a specific passed course only once as per Faculty regulations.

Note 2Students in the Major program considering graduate studies in Economics are advised to take the more mathematical stream courses (ECO206Y1, ECO208Y1), and also some or all of the 300-level advanced micro, macro, and econometrics sequence (ECO325H1, ECO316H1/ ECO326H1, and ECO375H1).

Note 3Students considering graduate studies in Economics are also encouraged to take more than the minimum amount and level of math. Students should especially consider MAT221H1/ MAT223H1/ MAT240H1 (Linear Algebra), (MAT235H1, MAT236H1)/ MAT235Y1/ MAT237Y1 (Multivariate Calculus), MAT246H1 (Abstract Mathematics), or even consider doing a Minor program in Mathematics.

Note 4STA220H1 and STA255H1 are not accepted for the major.

Note 5Students enrolled in this program cannot be simultaneously enrolled in any other Economics program or the Environmental Economics minor.

Program Course Requirements: 4.0 credits

First Year (2.0 credits):

1(ECO101H1 and ECO102H1)/ ECO105Y1

2MAT133Y1/ (MAT130H1/ MAT135H1 and MAT136H1)/ (MAT148H1, MAT149H1)/ MAT137Y1/ (MAT158H1, MAT159H1)/ MAT157Y1

Second Year (Core Courses, 1.0 credit):

ECO200Y1/ ECO204Y1/ ECO206Y1

Third and Higher Years (ECO Electives, 1.0 credit):

1.0 credit from 300+ level ECO courses

Notes:

Note 1Students enrolled in this program cannot be simultaneously enrolled in any other Economics program or the Environmental Economics minor.

Note 2Eligibility for all Economics programs is based, in part, on attaining a minimum grade in ECO101H1 and ECO102H1 (or ECO105Y1). Students are reminded that in order to achieve the required minimum grade in the above-mentioned courses, they may repeat a specific passed course only once as per Faculty regulations.

Note 3Many 300-level and higher courses in economics require ECO220Y1. While not a formal part of the Economics Minor program, students MUST meet the specified prerequisites for 300+ economics courses, and should seriously consider taking ECO220Y1.
