Majors and Honours
Students are advised to carefully plan their selection and sequencing of
foundation courses as each course is a prerequisite for higher level
courses within the same subject area.
Students normally choose a major or Honours in the second year and
should register with the Department at the beginning of the academic
year. Registration forms may be obtained from the departmental
secretary in SH465 or downloaded from the departmental website at:
http://www.unb.ca/fredericton/arts/departments/economics/index.html..
Major in Economics
A Major will consist of 42ch in Economics courses, 63 ch in other Science
courses (including CS 1003 or CS 1073)and 21 ch of electives for a total
of 126ch. The following courses are compulsory for this program: ECON
1013, ECON 1023, ECON 3013, ECON 3023, ECON 4013, ECON 4023,
ECON 3665, MATH 1003 or 1053, MATH 1013 or 1063, CS 1003 or 1073,
STAT 3083, and STAT 3093. Course selection should normally conform
to the following pattern:
First Year (36 ch minimum)
1. ECON 1013, ECON 1023, CS 1003 or 1073, MATH 1003 or 1053,
MATH 1013 or 1063
2. A total of 20 ch of first year science lecture and labratory courses
in two subjects areas of Biology, Chemistry, Geology (Earth
Sciences), and Physics
Second Year (30ch minimum)
1. ECON 3013, ECON 3023, and 6 ch electives in Economics
2. Two additional courses of first year science lectures in the same
subject area
3. STAT 3083, STAT 3093
4. 6ch chosen from List A
Note: Students who did not take ECON 1013, 1023 in their first year
may enter the program by taking these courses in their second year.
They should consult the Undergraduate Director in Economics for course
selections.
Third and Fourth Years(60 ch minimum)
1. ECON 4013, ECON 4023, ECON 3665
2. A minimum of additional 15 ch (advance level) in Economics
3. 21 ch of approved electives (at least 9ch must be advanced level
as defined by the relevant Department)
4. 15ch chosen from List A (at least 6ch must be at advanced level
2014-2015 Calendar Proofs
as defined by the relevant Department).
List A: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geology (Earth Sciences),
Mathematics, Physics, Statistics.
Honours in Economics
The Honours program is designed mainly for persons who intend to
become professional economists, particularly those who plan to do
graduate work in Economics at UNB or some other universities. The
program emphasizes economic theory, mathematical economics,
mathematics and quantitative research methods
Admission to the Honours Program is restricted to persons who have
earned a grade of B or higher in ECON 1013 and 1023 or MATH 1003
and 1013 or their equivalences, and have a cumulative grade point
average of at least 3.0. To remain in the Honours program a student
must maintain a grade point average of 3.0 in Economics courses and
approved substitutes, with no grade lower than C in a required course.
The Honours Program consists of 48ch in Economics courses, 63 ch in
other Science courses (including CS 1003 or CS 1073 ) and 15 ch of
electives for a total of 126 ch. The following courses are compulsory for
Honours students: ECON 1013, ECON 1023, ECON 3013, ECON 3023,
ECON 4013, ECON 4023, ECON 4625, ECON 4665, MATH 1003 or 1053,
MATH 1013 or 1063, MATH 2003, MATH 2013, MATH 2213, CS 1003 or
1073, STAT 3083, and STAT 3093. Course selection should normally
conform to the following pattern:
First Year (36 ch minimum)
1. ECON 1013, ECON 1023, CS 1003, or 1073, MATH 1003 or 1053,
MATH 1013 or 1063.
2. A total of 20 ch of first year science lecture and labratory courses
in two subject areas of Biology, Chemistry, Geology (Earth
Sciences), and Physics.
Second Year (30 ch minimum)
1. ECON 3013, ECON 3023 and 6 ch electives in Economics
2. Two additional term courses of first year science lectures in the
same subject area.
3. MATH 2003, MATH 2013, STAT 3083, STAT 3093
NOTE: Students who did not take ECON 1013, 1023 in their first
year may enter the program by taking these courses in their
second year. They should consult the Undergraduate Director in
Economics for course selections.

Minor in Economics
A minor in Economics is available to Science students. It consists of at least 24
ch in Economics with a grade of 2.0 or better. For the minor up to 6 ch in
statistics courses from other Departments may be treated as equivalent to
Economics statistics and therefore counted as an Economics credit. The courses
for the minor must be from a “coherent set of sequence of courses” as called fo
by the general university regulations for a Minor.
