Many 300-level courses have an Economics 201 and 203 (or consent of Department) prerequisites and some have Mathematics or Statistics courses as prerequisites.

Admission to the Major

Prospective students wishing to enter the BA (Economics) Program must meet the criteria in the section of this Calendar on A.2 “Admission Requirements” at the University of Calgary.

Limitation of Enrolment

Due to high demand, admission to the Economics Major is limited. Whenever demand exceeds capacity, enrolment will be limited and students will be admitted on a competitive basis. Admission averages are typically set above the minimum level for the Faculty of Arts. These higher admission standards are applicable to high-school applicants, external transfer applicants from other post-secondary institutions and internal transfer applicants from other programs at the University of Calgary, whether inside or outside the Faculty of Arts. (For transfer students, Spring and Summer Term courses completed after May 1 in the year of application will not count towards determining admissibility.)

Admission to Honours

The Faculty of Arts procedures for “Admission to Honours” established in section 3.4.3 Honours Degrees with a Major Field are applicable and provide the overall framework. The application deadline is May 1.

Overlapping Programs

Programs in Economics can be taken in conjunction with the program in International Relations with approval from the Faculty of Arts. Consent is required for Major-plus-Minor combinations, Double Majors, Combined Degrees and Second Baccalaureate Degrees.
