Fine print
- ¹ Only two 1000-series courses can count toward a Minor; with ECO1001 already taken, ECO1002 and ECO1013 cannot both count.
- ² These majors have no ECO1013 equivalent; ECO1013 is required to take ECO2003.
Why pursue this
- An interest in the social science of production and distribution, pursued rigorously.
- Preparation for careers dealing directly with economic topics — or where economic knowledge improves communication.
- A clear signal of interest and intent for higher degrees in economics, commonly pursued from non-economics backgrounds.
What you'll come out with
- A solid understanding of core economic vocabulary.
- Understand and discuss mathematical presentations of the core of modern economic logic.
- Focused knowledge in at least one major subfield — macroeconomic, microeconomic, or econometric courses.
