Co-op, Minors, Certificates and Engineering Concurrent Programs for Students
Co-operative Education Program in Economics
Co-op Academic Advisor: Dr. Christos Ntantamis (econadvisor@dal.ca)
The Science Co-op degree option enables students to apply their academic knowledge directly while providing them with work experience that assists in making educated career choices. Science Co-op is available to students in BSc (120 credit hour) Honours or Major programs in Economics, or in Combined Honours or Double Major programs with Economics as the primary subject. Further information and details on Science Co-op can be found in the academic calendar under Work-Integrated Learning & Co-operative Education and the Co-op office’s website at dal.ca/wil.
Minors available to students in Economics
Minor programs allow students to develop subject specialties in addition to their major or honours subjects. Minors in other subjects are normally added to 120 credit hour BSc or BA programs (including Science Co-op).
Students in a BSc or BA (120 credit hour) program in Economics may choose to include a Minor selected from the list of approved Minors. Courses counted toward a Major or Honours subject cannot be used to fulfill the requirements of a Minor program.
Certificates
In combination with a BSc or BA in Economics, students may obtain one or more Certificates. A Certificate indicates that a student has achieved a certain level of proficiency in a given area or subspecialty. Courses counted toward a Major, Honours or Minor subject may also be used to fulfill the requirements of a Certificate. Students must apply to the Certificate Coordinator to be considered for a Certificate. Certificates are awarded upon graduation and are noted on the student’s academic transcript.
A complete list of Faculty of Science Certificates and requirements can be found at the beginning of the Faculty of Science section of this calendar. Students may also work toward obtaining Certificates offered by other Faculties; some of these are listed in the College of Arts and Science Degree Requirements section of the calendar.
Certificates of particular interest to students enrolled in a BSc or BA in Economics include:
Certificate in Data Analytics
Certificate in Environmental Impact Assessment
Certificate in Science Leadership and Communication
BEng/BSc (90 credit hour) concurrent degree (Economics)
This degree prepares students for careers in engineering by providing students with a better understanding of: the costs and benefits of projects (including externalities and opportunity costs), the business side of projects and financing, and economic policy frameworks. Following is a recommended sequence of courses for students wishing to obtain a concurrent BEng and BSc (90 credit hour) degree with Minor in Economics. Interested students must consult with the Assistant Dean, Faculty of Science, and the Associate Dean, Faculty of Engineering prior to enrolling in a concurrent BEng/BSc degree.
It is recommended that students also discuss their selection of courses with an undergraduate advisor in the Department of Economics. A concurrent BEng/BSc Major in Economics (120 credit hours) can be designed for interested candidates.

Co-operative Education Program in Economics
Co-op Academic Advisor: Dr. C. Ntantamis (econadvisor@dal.ca)
Co-operative Education in Science is a program where academic study in a science subject is combined with paid career-related work experience. Students undertake three work-terms interspersed with their academic study terms. Science Co-op degree programs enable students to apply their knowledge directly while providing them with work experience that assists in making educated career choices.
Science Co-op is available to students in BSc (120 credit hour) Honours or Major programs in Economics, or in Combined Honours (with Economics as the primary subject) or Double Major programs. A minimum GPA of 3.00 is required for admission and for continuation in the Co-op program. Students must be eligible to work in Canada.
Students normally apply to join Co-op during their first year of study, but application during the second year of study is possible. Students must apply before April 15, and it is strongly recommended that interested students meet with their Department Co-op advisor early in the Winter term of their first year. If accepted into Science Co-op, students must register for, and attend the Science Co-op Seminar Series (SCIE 2800.00) at least four months prior to the first work term.
Details are available from the Co-operative Education office dal.ca/academics/cooperative_education.html. For more information on Co-op Education in Economics, please see the Department webpage dal.ca/faculty/science/economics/programs/undergraduate-programs/Co-operative-education.html.
