Program overview
Bachelor of Arts - Economics is a four year honours route at Nipissing University in North Bay, Ontario. The Bachelor of Arts - Economics curriculum covers microeconomics and macroeconomics, econometrics and statistics, and applied fields spanning labour, development and financial economics across four years.
Studied as a single major rather than inside a dual degree, Bachelor of Arts - Economics gives students the full depth of the subject and room for electives across the faculty. Taking Bachelor of Arts - Economics on its own carries one implication worth stating. Economics is a quantitative degree that many students underestimate, and a second specialisation or a graduate route later builds a second professional track on that analytical foundation, which is worth weighing before choosing Bachelor of Arts - Economics over a dual route.
Because Bachelor of Arts - Economics is a degree, the field of study restriction that catches non degree credentials does not apply and no CIP verification is required. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Bachelor of Arts - Economics with a partner should plan on a single income. Every work permit decision rests with Canadian immigration authorities, and Apply Study Visa confirms the position for Bachelor of Arts - Economics in writing before you pay a deposit.
Admission to Bachelor of Arts - Economics requires Grade 12 / High School at 70 percent or above, alongside IELTS 6.5 overall with no band below 6. Tuition for Bachelor of Arts - Economics is recorded at CAD 21,000 a year with a CAD 150 application fee, and 5 intake windows are listed. Apply Study Visa manages the Bachelor of Arts - Economics application, the attestation letter, the deposit and the study permit as one process.
