This program of study is recommended for students interested in pursuing a career in economics or finance and is designed to provide the foundations required for upper level courses. Kwantlen currently offers a BA Minor in Economics, and a BA General Studies – Politics, Philosophy and Economics. Since both economics and finance require a fair amount of mathematical ability, there is a calculus requirement. It is recommended that entrants have credit for Principles of Math 12, or equivalent, with a minimum grade of C+.
