Economics

BA (HONS) in Economics

Mode: full-time

A key aim of the program is to create in students a sense of awareness of economic issues that have both national and international importance. Another feature of the degree is to provide students with an opportunity to engage in a major individual research project. The senior project, normally around 8-10,000 words in length, provides a solid base for gaining research experience in economics. Upper division courses encourage the study of regional and international topics.

Admissions Requirements
Applicants have usually completed a total of twelve years of primary and secondary education with a minimum of C + (2.5 out of 4.0) in the American high school grading system. Qualifications gained under other educational systems will be assessed for equivalency to the C+/2.5 American system standard. Other factors such as the letter of reference, personal statement, results of standardized examinations and participation in extracurricular activities, are also be considered in the application process. Students holding advanced qualifications (e.g., A-Levels, French Baccalaureate, International Baccalaureate, Advanced Placement Examinations etc. ) may be given credit toward completion of degrees after review by the Dean of Academic Affairs and Registrar. Typically, such students are granted exemption from some first-year courses.
