The Summer Co-op in Economics is designed to provide Economics students with work experience related to their studies. This optional program is available to full-time undergraduate students in the Department of Economics (main campus only), Faculty of Social Science, who are enrolled in Year 3 and returning in the fall to continue into Year 4 of the Honors Specialization in Economics or a double Major with one of the Majors in Economics. Students must have a minimum average in Economics of (1) 75% with no grade in Economics less than 60% in the second year of one of the above modules; and, (2) 75% with no grade in Economics less than 60% in the first term of the third year of one of the above modules. Students may use 100-level Economics to gain admission to the modules listed, but the average among these courses must be at least 75% with no grade less than 70%. Students interested in this Co-op must apply online by the deadlines specified by the Department of Economics. Students who accept a summer placement will receive a notation on their transcript (Economics 499) and a pass/fail grade will be recorded. An administrative fee will be charged for a successful placement.
