Undergraduate ProgramIn this age of expanding information technology, our progression to utilizing the world wide web for course notes, program descriptions and other information is a natural step for the Department. We invite you to check out our undergraduate web page at http://qed.econ.queensu.ca/undergrad.
In the academic year 1994-95, a total of 551 students were registered with a program concentration in Economics; in 1995-96, the number of Economics concentrators declined to 513. The Department of Economics granted a B.A. Honours Degree to 70 students in 1995, and to 69 students in 1996. We are pleased to report that graduating Economics students were recipients of Prince of Wales Prizes for top academic performance in the entire Faculty of Arts and Science in both 1995 and 1996. In 1995 Gregory Matthews (Medal in Economics) received second-place standing, honorable mention Prince of Wales Prize. In 1996, Michael Koen (Medal in Economics) was awarded first-place standing Prince of Wales Prize, and Jeremy Busch (best B.A. thesis in Economics) received second-place standing, honorable mention Prince of Wales Prize. In addition, many of our students were named to the Dean's Honour List (top 3% of all Arts and Science students).
Our congratulations to all those who were awarded departmental prizes and scholarships.
