"Canadian students are expected to have an honours BA in Economics, including the advanced microeconomics and macroeconomics courses (that is, one course in each beyond the full-year intermediate courses) and some econometrics. The university requires students to have maintained a B+ average in economics courses during the final two years of their undergraduate programs, but in practice, students with less than an A- average are seldom admitted.
Students with lesser qualifications in economics but very strong backgrounds in mathematics or statistics are occasionally admitted, but such exceptions are rare."
