Economics
The programs of the Department of Economics provide students with the concepts and the tools that enable them to understand, analyze, and eventually contribute to solving economic problems confronting our society. The baccalaureate program with concentration is for those who want to acquire a good knowledge of economics but not necessarily specialize in it. It may be advantageous to combine this program with general training in other disciplines. The honours baccalaureate is for those who want to receive advanced training in economics and who intend to eventually pursue their studies at the graduate level. Students of the department acquire a sound knowledge of basic economic theory (microeconomics and macroeconomics), while also learning about economic history and institutions and developing a solid grasp of quantitative methods. In addition to the core courses of the program, appropriate optional courses allow students to focus on various areas of study. Many graduates of the department are now employed in government departments and agencies. Others are working for research institutions, international agencies, the private sector or in education. All compulsory courses in the Department of Economics are offered in English and French. A variety of optional courses are offered in English or French, usually with some alternating from year to year.

Co-operative Education Program |
|
Co-operative education seeks to relate classroom learning to its practical application in the workplace. Co-op students alternate study terms on campus with four-month paid work terms. During the work terms, students are placed in jobs which should progressively involve more responsibilities and require more skills.
1. Schedule of work and study terms |
|
| Summer | Fall | Winter |
|
| First year | - | study | study |
|
| Second year | - | study | study |
|
| Third year | work term | study | work term |
|
| Fourth year | study | work term | study |
|
| Fifth year | work term | study | - |
|
|
|
2. Admission into the Co-operative Education Program
To be admissible, students must meet the following conditions:
- Canadian citizenship or permanent residency status;
- registration in the honours program; completion of all first-year courses and normal course requirements for the fall session of the second year or the equivalent;
- cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 6.0 or more;
- submission of their application for admission to the central co-ordinating office before September 30 (see 5 below).
3. Requirements
Students in the co-operative education option must maintain a CGPA of 6.0 or more throughout the program. During each work term they must register in the Co-op Work Term Report course and submit a work term report at the end of the term. The course requirements for the co-op degree are those of the regular program plus the Co-op Work Term Report courses. The regulations governing the co-operative education programs are given in the Co-op Students Handbook and in the document entitled Regulations and Procedures Governing Co-operative Education Programs.
4. Advantages of Co-operative Education
The combination of work and study helps students both in their choice of courses and in their choice of career. Compared to other graduates, co-op graduates are often offered permanent positions involving more responsibilities and higher salaries. The salary earned during work terms helps to finance the student's education.
5. Central Co-ordinating Office
The University of Ottawa has set up a central co-ordinating office to administer the work term component of all its co-operative education programs. The office provides the necessary services to all participants in a co-operative education program, manages the placement process (secures employer participation, arranges interviews, places students, and other processes) and participates in monitoring work terms. A faculty member from each discipline is also involved in co-ordinating the co-operative education programs. For all questions concerning the program, please contact the office or the department co-ordinator. |
