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:
- 0.5 credit from ECO101H1/ ECO105Y1/ IRW230H1*
- 1.5 credits from SOC/PSY/IRE/IRW, at any level, of which no more than 0.5 credit can be IRE/IRW
Admission is competitive and in recent years the combined average in the 2.0 credits has been in the 68% to 70% range. Please note that obtaining this minimum grade average does not guarantee admission to the program.
Requests for admission will only be considered in the first program request period. Due to the limited enrolment nature of this program students are strongly advised to apply to backup programs.
* IRW230H1 is designed to meet the economics requirement of CIRHR programs. IRW230H1 cannot be used in lieu of an introductory economics course for programs offered by the Economics department. For all other programs needing an introductory economics course, please consult with the offering department to ensure you enrol in the appropriate economics course.
Notes:
- For the first requirement, only a 0.5 credit can be counted toward the completion of the IRHR major.
- Students must meet prerequisites and/or enrolment requirements for ECO, PSY, IRE, IRW courses.
- Students enrolled in this program cannot be simultaneously enrolled in any other CIRHR program.
