Students are encouraged to study abroad in an international student exchange program.  Students may request permission to count courses in language, literature, culture or economics taken while studying abroad towards the program requirements.

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 Global Economics Honors Specialization 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% may also be exempt from taking Economics 2222A/B and 2223A/B. 

Students may combine this module with a module in language, literature or culture in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities but should check with the Academic Counselor to determine whether non-Economics courses completed as part of this module can also be counted toward the second module.

Courses counted toward first-year requirements cannot be used to fulfill the course requirements of this module.

Note:  Students considering graduate studies in economics or finance should take certain advanced economics courses and additional mathematics and are strongly advised to consult with the Undergraduate Coordinator.
