Economics

*Please Note: The Flexible Pre-Major Program has been discontinued and will no longer be updated. The agreements listed below are for historical reference only and should not be considered a guaranteed pathway. To view current course articulations, please go the Course Search.

The Economics Flexible Pre-Major consists of 6 courses (18 credits) or, for UVic, 15 credits or 7.5 units.

One Principles of Microeconomics course
One Principles of Macroeconomics course
Two Post-Principles of Economics courses, i.e., courses for which Principles of Microeconomics and/or Principles of Macroeconomics are pre-requisites.
One Calculus course (Calculus I or equivalent); or, for UBC, two Calculus courses (Calculus I and Calculus II)
One Statistics course (Statistics I or equivalent), except at UBC and UVic.

Notes

None of the courses constituting the requirements for the flexible pre-major in Economics may substitute for upper-level requirements in the receiving institution.
The flexible pre-major does not excuse students from non-discipline specific requirements of programs at the receiving institution, such as English, humanity or science credits. These must still be met prior to graduation with the major, and students are encouraged to examine the total program requirements of receiving institutions prior to applying for transfer.

Students are advised that completion of the Economics Flexible Pre-Major does not guarantee acceptance into programs with an Economics major. Acceptance depends on students obtaining a competitive GPA and/or meeting any other admission requirements specified by the receiving institution.

The complete report on the Economics Flexible Pre-Major program is available here.
