The following courses with the stated minimum grades are required:

• ECO206Y1(70%)
• ECO208Y1(70%)
• MAT137Y1 (60%)/ MAT157Y1(60%).

Special Requirement

• In order to apply for the Economics and Mathematics Specialist Program, a student must first be enrolled in the Economics Major (ASMAJ1478) or Mathematics Major (ASMAJ1165). Upon acceptance to the Economics and Mathematics Specialist Program, your Specialist enrolment will replace your Economics Major.
• Students enrolled in this program cannot be simultaneously enrolled in any other Economics program or the Environmental Economics minor.

Students in this program have the option to request enrolment in the Arts & Science Internship Program (ASIP) stream. Students can apply for the ASIP stream after Year 1 (Year 2 entry) or after Year 2 (Year 3 entry, starting Fall 2024). Full details about ASIP, including student eligibility, selection and enrolment, are available in the ASIP section of the Arts & Science Academic Calendar. Please note that the majority of students enter ASIP in Fall term of Year 2. Space is more limited for Year 3 entry. Students applying for Year 3 entry must have been admitted to the Economics & Mathematics Specialist in the Summer after Year 2. Economics & Mathematics Specialist students also enrolled in Rotman Commerce are not eligible to join the ASIP stream. ASIP students enrolled in the Economics Major can transfer to the ASIP stream of the Economics & Mathematics Specialist without needing to reapply to ASIP.
