Admission Requirements
Admission is limited and selective.
Applicants should note that it is possible to enter the co-operative education program only in the Fall semester of each academic year. Application forms are available on the Department of Economics website.
The primary criterion used in reaching decisions on applications for admission is overall academic achievement. Students with weak overall academic records are unlikely to be admitted. An applicant may be asked to attend an interview.
To be eligible for admission an applicant must have successfully completed a minimum of 30 credit hours with an overall average of at least 65% including the following: Economics 1010 (or the former 2010) and 1020 (or the former 2020); at least 6 credit hours in English (English 1110 is recommended); Mathematics 1000 and 1001; and 12 credit hours chosen from courses in the disciplines of Humanities, Social Sciences or Science. It is advised that students choose courses which can satisfy the Regulations for the General Degree of Bachelor of Science.
A student who has already completed more than the 30 credit hours that are required for admission to the program may apply for entry with Advanced Standing. Students with Advanced Standing will be placed in a semester of the program judged to be appropriate considering the number of credit hours remaining in their academic program.
Transfer students from other universities will be placed in that term of the program judged to be appropriate considering equivalent credits, as determined by the Departments and the designated ASM-CE.
