Introductory Microeconomics and Introductory Macroeconomics are compulsory for all commerce students. They may also be taken by students from other faculties, and they are pre-requisites for second year economics subjects. Introductory Microeconomics should be taken prior to Introductory Macroeconomics.
316-101 Introductory Macroeconomics
316-102 Introductory Microeconomics
Students must take two subjects in statistics as part of the Commerce degree. Students with a limited background in mathematics should take the pair of subjects 316-130 Quantitative Methods 1 and 316-206 Quantitative Methods 2. The alternative pair of subjects is 316-129 Business Statistics and 316-205 Introductory Econometrics. These subjects cover a similar syllabus to those of Quantitative Methods 1 and 2 but the treatment is more mathematical. The Business Statistics/Introductory Econometrics sequence is designed primarily for students with an aptitude for mathematics. Such students may also choose to take a first semester mathematics subject in their first year. Students who intend to specialise in econometrics in the degree must take 316-129 and 316-205.
Students taking a sequence in Actuarial Studies enrol in 620-201 Probability and 620-202 Statistics taught by the Faculty of Science instead of two statistics subjects taught by the Faculty of Economics and Commerce. This option is also open to other Commerce students. Combined Commerce/Science students, in particular, may find this option attractive. Students are reminded, however, to note the first year prerequisites for 619-201 Probability.
