Module
6.0 Courses:

3.0 courses: Economics  2220A/B, Economics  2221A/B, 2222A/B, 2223A/B, 2260A/B, 2261A/B.*

Students who have completed any other introductory statistics course listed as an antirequisite to Economics  2222A/B must replace Economics  2222A/B with 0.5 course in Economics at the 2200 or 3000 level.

**Students may count up to 0.5 course from the following list toward this requirement: Calculus  2502A/B, 2503A/B; any Mathematics course numbered 2100 or higher; Applied Mathematics  2402A or the former Differential Equations 2402A, Applied Mathematics  2811B, 2813B, 3811A/B, 3813A/B, 3815A/B, 3817A/B, 3911F/G, 4353B, 4613A/B, 4617A/B, 4815A/B, 4817A/B. Students who make such a substitution cannot count Economics  3310A/B towards this requirement.

Students who have completed Economics  2150A/B, 2151A/B, 2152A/B and 2153A/B with an average of 80% and no mark less than 75%, and who have taken Calculus  1000A/B or Calculus  1100A/B with a mark of at least 60%, may enter the Major and be exempt from taking Economics  2220A/B, 2221A/B, 2260A/B and 2261A/B. Students who have completed these requirements and have also completed Economics  2122A/B and 2123A/B with an average of 80% and no mark less than 75% will be exempt from taking Economics  2222A/B and 2223A/B. [Students who completed Economics  2150A/B, 2151A/B, 2152A/B and 2153A/B before September 2009 may request to be granted these exemptions based on the mark requirements described for this module in the Faculty of Social Science section of the 2008 Academic Calendar.]
