Program details

Overview

This program leads to a Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) with an Economics specialization over four years, delivered in-class at the North Oshawa campus, and is available within the Bachelor of Commerce degree to students in any major. Coursework builds a foundation in economic theory alongside data analysis, covering market behaviour, public policy, international trade and evidence-based decision-making, with the aim of preparing students to interpret economic trends and evaluate business strategy. A direct-entry co-op option is available through OUAC code DCQ, offering full-time, paid work terms; the regular, non-co-op program is entered through OUAC code DBQ. Students with prior post-secondary study can add co-op only after a transfer-credit assessment. Graduates are prepared to pursue careers in finance, consulting, government, policy and research, and other data-driven fields.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Current Ontario secondary school students must complete the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U or 4M credits, including English (ENG4U) with a minimum average of 60 per cent, and one of Advanced Functions (MHF4U), Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U) or Mathematics of Data Management (MDM4U) with a minimum average of 60 per cent. Admission is competitive: applicants are assessed on school marks, the distribution of subjects taken, and performance in subjects relevant to the program, and possession of the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance. The most recent admission cut-off was 70 per cent, with an expected cut-off in the low 70s.
