Program details
Overview
This Bachelor of Arts in Economics, offered through Concordia's Department of Economics on the Sir George Williams campus, is built around core economic theory and econometrics courses, with advanced options for Honours and Specialization students and electives examining international policy, competition regulation, environmental challenges, and financial analysis. Students apply quantitative and statistical methods to real-world economic problems and choose among a 42-credit Major, a 60-credit Specialization, a 60-credit Honours stream, a 30-credit Minor, or a 24-credit Minor in Analytical Economics. Full-time study takes three to four years (90-120 credits), with admission in the Fall or Winter term. A cooperative education option is available to academically strong students, but only within the Specialization and Honours streams, giving them paid work terms and practical field experience. An integrated path lets students count up to 15 credits toward both the Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts in Economics. The program suits students seeking rigorous quantitative training for careers or further study in economics and policy analysis.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Direct entry requires a Quebec CEGEP DEC with an overall average of 23, a B- average for Canadian high-school applicants, 27 points for the IB Diploma, or a B- average for university transfer applicants; no standardized test such as the ACT or SAT is required. Concordia's institution-wide English proficiency minimum applies unless exempt: IELTS Academic 6.0 with no band below 5.5, TOEFL iBT 70, or Duolingo 105. Fall applications are due March 1 (February 1 for U.S./international applicants, earlier strongly recommended) and Winter applications November 1 (August 1 for U.S./international applicants); the university notes that meeting the minimum cut-off average does not guarantee admission and reserves the right to close admissions early.
Application Details
Start Date:September and January
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants, including Quebec CEGEP graduates, apply directly to Concordia: for Fall 2027 entry (September start) the application deadline is 1 March 2027, and for Winter 2027 entry (January start) it is 1 November 2026; not all programs admit in Winter. Concordia sets the same formal deadlines for U.S. and international applicants but strongly recommends applying earlier - by 1 February 2027 for Fall or 1 August 2026 for Winter - to allow time for immigration processing. Late applications are considered if space remains, and Concordia does not publish a separate application-opening date. Graduate programs, including the Executive MBA, set their own per-program deadlines rather than following this university-wide undergraduate date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
