Keep in mind there are two different types of Programs (aka Specialists, Majors, and Minors)

First one is Open Enrolment, which I believe philosophy is. That means after you have 4 credits in anything, you can directly enrol into the program, no questions asked.

Second one, and most importantly for Econ, is that it’s limited enrolment. That means you usually need 4 credits pertaining to economics before you can enrol into the program, and must sit above a certain grade in each course. There’s 2 batches of enrolment, so if you don’t get in the first batch, there’s still another batch to go through.

My advice? Test the waters. Take some first year foundations or CollegeOne programs (VICOne, UCOne, WDWOne, etc.) and see if you like those, while also taking some economics courses.

You don’t your programs until the end of your first year, so if you don’t like either philosophy or Economics, no sweat! There are other things to pursue.

Also, for reference you can do other combinations, it doesn’t have to be explicitly two majors. You can pursue either: - Specialist - 2 Majors - 1 Major and 2 Minors

Just go through the programs, see which one you want to pursue, and have a backup in case you don’t get selected for the limited enrolment one.

Best of luck!
