NOTES: 1For the purposes of satisfying program requirements in the Major, Advanced Major and Minor programs, and of satisfying course prerequisites, Honours courses are acceptable as substitutes for general courses according to the following schedule: ECON 2700 for ECON 2450; ECON 3700 for ECON 2460; ECON 2800 for ECON 2470; ECON 3800 for ECON 2480. For each pair, students may hold credit for only one course. 2 In cases where students have been granted three hours of unallocated transfer credit in Economics at the 1000 level, and have achieved additional credits in Economics from The University of Manitoba, and wish to declare Economics as a General Major without having full credit in ECON 1200, then the Years 2-3 requirement for a Major in Economics will be ECON 2450 and ECON 2470, plus an additional 18 credit hours in Economics of which at least 6 hours must be at the 3000 level. 3Students in the Advanced Major are urged to take ECON 2450, ECON 2460, ECON 2470 and ECON 2480 in Year 2, but must take at least two of these courses in Year 2. 4Course ECON 4820 or ECON 4830 may not be taken until the final year of the program and only after students have successfully completed ECON 3170 and ECON 3180, plus all of the following: ECON 2450, ECON 2460, ECON 2470, ECON 2480. A grade of “C” or better in each course is required. 5 For the purpose of satisfying program requirements in the Honours programs and of satisfying course prerequisites, General theory courses are acceptable substitutes for Honours theory courses according to the following schedule: As substitute for ECON 2700, ONE of the following conditions must be satisfied: (i) grades of B or better in each of ECON 2450 and ECON 2460; (ii) a grade of A or better in ECON 2450. As substitute for ECON 2800, ONE of the following conditions must be satisfied: (i) grades of B or better in each of ECON 2470 and ECON 2480; (ii) a grade of A or better in ECON 2470. 6 To meet a minimum required background in mathematics, Single Honours students must complete 6 credit hours in Mathematics in Year 2 (or Year 3 with departmental approval). Students contemplating entering the Single Honours Program in Economics are advised to take the Mathematics requirement in their first year of studies. Students contemplating graduate work in Economics should refer to the notes above “Preparation for Graduate Studies”. 7Students contemplating Double Honours in Economics and Mathematics are advised to consult the Department of Economics for specific details. 8Statistics STAT 1000 and STAT 2000 are acceptable in place of ECON 3170 and ECON 3180 or in place of ECON 4120 and ECON 4130 but will not count toward the 54 hours of Economics required for Single Honours or toward the 36 hours of Economics required by the Double Honours program. Students contemplating graduate work in Economics should refer to the notes above “Preparation for Graduate Studies”. 9A maximum of 6 credit hours at the 1000 level may be used towards a Major, Minor or Honours Program. 10Ancillary options are courses taken from outside the Honours field of study.
