This is a limited enrolment program. Students must have completed 4.0 credits and meet the requirements listed below to enrol.
Variable Minimum Grade Average
A minimum grade average is needed for entry, and this minimum changes each year depending on available spaces and the number of applicants. The following courses must be completed:
- ( ECO101H1, ECO102H1)/ ECO105Y1
- 1.0 credit from SOC100H1/ SOC150H1/ 200+ level SOC courses/ PSY100H1
Admission is competitive and in recent years the combined average in the 2.0 credits has been in the 65% to 70% range. Please note that obtaining this minimum grade average does not guarantee admission to the program.
Notes:
- Requests for admission will be considered in the first program request period only.
- Due to the limited enrolment nature of this program students are strongly advised to apply to backup programs.
