This Program is designed to give a coordinated exposure to the subject matter of Economics for Management Studies to students pursuing a four-year degree with more than a single area of concentration.
Enrolment Requirements

STUDENTS WHO ARE CONSIDERING COMBINING PROGRAMS BETWEEN ECONOMICS AND STATISTICS
For students who are intending to pursue a major in Economics with a major or minor in Statistics, we advise the following recommended sequence of required courses. If the sequence outlined below is not followed, it may result in the student taking exclusions and incurring an "EXTRA" credit. An "EXTRA" credit does NOT count towards the 20-credit degree requirement.
1) Students in the Minor Program in Applied Statistics and the Major Program in Economics should take (in order)
MGEB11H3
MGEB12H3
MGEC11H3*
STAC67H3
2) Students in all other Statistics programs and the Major Program in Economics should take (in order).
STAB52H3 or STAB53H3
STAB57H3
MGEB12H3
MGEC11H3*
STAC67H3
* MGEC11H3 may be taken concurrently with STAC67H3. However, if MGEC11H3 is taken after STAC67H3, it will count as an "EXTRA" course and no credit will be given for the degree requirements.
