2 B.I.E. students are allowed a maximum of 27 credits of COEC courses towards the completion of their B.I.E. degree but cannot take any other credits in the Sauder School of Business. COEC courses that are equivalent to ECON courses are exempted from the 27 maximum. | |
3 By special permission only, students may substitute 9 credits from honours courses ECON 306 and 307 and econometrics course ECON 425 in place of 9 credits from COEC 294, 365, 370, 377, 437, 491, 497 and 498. Students given special permission to complete ECON 306, 307 and 425, which require an advanced mathematical foundation, are also required to complete two courses from MATH 200, 220, and 221. See the B.I.E. Advising Office. |
Students may construct their program to include any minor available to students in the Faculty of Arts, other than the Minors in Economics or Commerce.
Note: A maximum of 9 credits numbered 300 and higher may be shared between a minor and the B.I.E. See Double-Counting.
Minor in Arts
To complete a minor, a student will normally include in the 120 credits required for the degree at least 18 and no more than 36 credits in a single subject (discipline) or field of specialization. At least 18 of these credits must be in courses numbered 300 or above.
Students are encouraged to consult the B.I.E. advisor and see a departmental advisor in Arts, preferably before taking the necessary courses.
Minor in Education
The Minor in Education allows Bachelor of International Economics students to combine Arts subject content with an area of Education through which that content can be more broadly explored and applied. These investigations through the lens of education can lead to career options involving education theory and pedagogy, both for teaching careers and other professional goals. The Minor does not qualify students to teach in the K-12 system; however, it does provide prerequisites to higher education programs and required courses necessary for specialized teacher education.
The Minor consists of 30 credits, 18 of which are drawn from specified core Education courses and 12 of which are drawn from supportive Arts courses at the 300-400 level. Five different versions are available:
Students who wish to declare the Minor must be eligible for 3rd year standing. Arts subject courses must be chosen in consultation with Arts Advising, preferably prior to declaration; Arts Advising may consult with the Teacher Education office for final approval of these courses.
Education subject courses consist of the following:
1ENGL 330 or ENGL 331 may be substituted for LLED 489A, in which case students may include these ENGL credits towards the required 12 credits of Arts and must take 3 additional LLED credits to reach a total of 18 credits of LLED for the Minor.
Minor in Land and Food Systems
The Faculty of Land and Food Systems offers six optional minors for Arts students. Upon declaration of one of the following minor options, the notation "Minor in [Subject]" will be denoted on the student's transcript. Note that most upper-level Land and Food Systems and Science courses have lower-level pre-requisites. Interested students are encouraged to meet with an Arts Academic Advisor as early as possible to discuss program planning.
The Applied Animal Biology Minor comprises 18 credits selected from APBI 311 (BIOL 364), 312, 314, 315, 316, 327 (BIOL 327), 398, 410, 411, 413, 414, 415, 416, 418, 419, 427 (BIOL 411), 496; PSYC 306.
The Sustainable Agriculture and Environment Minor comprises 18 credits selected from APBI 318, 322, 324 (BIOL 324), 327 (BIOL 327), 328 (BIOL 317), 342 (FRST 310), 351 (BIOL 351/FRST 311), 401, 402, 403, 417, 426 (BIOL 421), 428, 440 (BIOL 440), 444 (FRST 444).
The Food and Resource Economics Minor comprises 18 credits selected from ECON 371, FRE 302, 306, 326, 340, 374 (ECON 374), 385, 402, 420, 460, 490.
The Food Science Minor comprises 18 credits selected from FNH 300, 301, 302, 303, 309, 313, 330, 335, 402, 403, 405, 413, 419, 430.
The Nutritional Sciences Minor comprises 21 credits:
The Sustainable Food Systems Minor comprises 24 credits:
Space in many Faculty of Science and Faculty of Land and Food Systems courses is limited. Admission to a Land and Food Systems minor does not provide priority access to courses agreed upon for the minor.
Minor in Science
B.I.E. students may also complete a Minor in Science. An acceptable program must comprise courses recognized for credit in the Faculty of Science and acceptable for a science major in the proposed subject area or field. The Minor in Science must consist of at least 18 credits numbered 300 or higher in a single subject or field of specialization, together with any necessary prerequisites for these upper-level courses. Students should design a coherent and academically sound course of studies for their proposed minor. Note that space in many courses is limited and admission to a science minor does not guarantee access to courses agreed upon for the minor.
The 18 upper-level credits of science required by this program and their science prerequisites will not be applied towards the minimum 72 credits from the Faculty of Arts.
