U0 students interested in economics should take ECON 208 and ECON 209. These courses provide good preparation for the honours and major programs, although neither course is a prerequisite for either program. The first year of microeconomics courses for the Honours program (ECON 250D1/D2) and for the Majors program (ECON 230D1/D2) should not be taken in the U0 year.
Information on credit for economics courses taken elsewhere is available at www.mcgill.ca/economics/undergraduates/courses. For information on Economics internships, see www.mcgill.ca/arts-internships/resources/credit/economics.
