Elective courses
Elective courses may be taken from the full list of Level 2 (ECON2XXX) and Level 3 (ECON3XXX) courses offered by the School of Economics. Given the requirement that students must complete at least three Level 2 and three Level 3 courses, a minimum of two (2) electives must be completed from the list of Level 3 courses.
