Program details

Overview

Economics and Finance at the University of Winnipeg is offered as either a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Business and Administration, each in a four-year format. The program is affiliated with the CFA Institute's University Affiliation Program, and coursework spans economics, accounting, and marketing alongside study of financial instruments such as options, futures, and derivatives, and of risk management. Admission requires Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S or Applied Mathematics 40S or an equivalent, and students without this background can take prerequisite support courses. Delivery is on the Winnipeg campus. The program page presents it as suited to students interested in financial instruments and markets, including those working toward Level 1 of the CFA designation, and to students aiming at investment or compliance-related roles, citing an example graduate destination of associate manager, investment compliance. Because it can be completed as either an arts or a business credential, the program allows students to combine finance and economics study with either a broader liberal-arts course load or a business-administration framework, depending on which degree structure better fits their academic or career plans.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: In addition to The University of Winnipeg's general admission requirements, applicants must have either Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S or Applied Mathematics 40S (or equivalent); applicants lacking this background can complete MATH-0041 and MATH-0042 through the Math Department. Applicants whose first language is not English, and who are not from an English-exempt country, must meet the university's English proficiency requirement, set out on The University of Winnipeg's own admission requirements page: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall; TOEFL iBT 4.5 overall with no component below 4.0 for tests taken on or after January 21, 2026 (86 overall with no component below 20 for tests taken before that date); Duolingo English Test 120; Pearson PTE Academic 58; CAEL 60 (CAEL online 70); LanguageCert Academic 67; or Cambridge C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 180, with results no more than two years old. International applicants apply online through the university's application portal and pay a non-refundable CAD $120 application fee, with official transcripts sent directly from the issuing institution to the Admissions Office; recommended international deadlines are June 15 for Fall (September), October 15 for Winter (January), and February 15 for Spring (May), and applying three to four months ahead is encouraged to allow time for study-permit processing.

Application Details

Start Date: September, January and May
Application Deadline: Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens, permanent residents and refugees) apply directly to the University of Winnipeg: for the Faculties of Arts, Business and Economics, Kinesiology and Science the suggested deadline is July 2 for Fall (September) entry, November 1 for Winter (January) entry and March 1 for Spring (May) entry; the Faculty of Education recommends March 1 for high-school and mature applicants, with a final deadline of June 1 subject to space. International applicants are advised to apply by June 15 (Fall, shown on the live page as an 'extended' deadline), October 15 (Winter) or February 15 (Spring). All of these are suggested rather than firm cut-offs: late applications may still be considered, and admission runs on an effectively rolling basis until a term is full. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
