Economics Extended Minor
Declaration Requirements
Students are eligible to apply for entry to the program once 30 units have been completed, ECON 201 is completed with at least a C- grade, the minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is met and the ECON program GPA is met.
The department announces the minimum CGPA below which students will not normally be considered for entry to the program.
Students should contact a departmental advisor to apply. Students not accepted upon initial application may reapply.
Continuation in Program
To continue in an economics program, students must maintain a 2.0 CGPA.
Course Information
For a course to fulfil a prerequisite, or for a required course to be accepted in a student’s economics program, a grade of C- or higher must be obtained.
Access to ECON 402, 403, 435 and 499W is restricted to students who have excelled in their studies (see ECON course descriptions). These advanced courses are recommended for students wishing to pursue more challenging work or who plan to complete an additional degree.
Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Requirements
Students should fulfil Faculty requirements early in their programs and obtain broadly based backgrounds before entering upper division courses.
For a course to fulfil a prerequisite, or for a required course to be accepted in an economics program students must have a grade of C- or higher.
Program Requirements
In order to graduate from any ECON major, joint major, minor, or extended minor program, students must have a minimum ECON cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.0 and a minimum ECON cumulative upper division grade point average (CUDGPA) of 2.0, calculated on all ECON courses completed at SFU.
Students complete the same lower division requirements as a major. The requirements are as follows.
Lower Division Requirements
Students complete the following prior to program declaration with a minimum grade of C- (unless otherwise indicated).
The principal elements of theory concerning utility and value, price and costs, factor analysis, productivity, labor organization, competition and monopoly, and the theory of the firm. Quantitative/Breadth-Soc.
