The 120 credit hour Major is suited to students who want to focus on Economics, but wish to have a program that is somewhat less constrained than the Honours program. BSc Economics Majors complete a minimum of 42 credit hours in Economics courses above the 1000 level; BA Economics majors complete a minimum of 36 credit hours in Economics courses above the 1000 level.
