[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in the international economics field and I have not heard of this specific program, though I come across UBC grads occasionally amongst my Canadian colleagues. Perhaps they did this program.[/quote]

UBC's economics dept has been around 100 years but rebranded themselves as the "Vancouver School of Economics" (VSE) in about 2013-ish. This specialized Bachelor of International Economics program is considered their crown jewel of undergrad and includes career coaching, internships, co-op in the program. It's essentially a BA in Econ Honors (VSE) plus a minor in Business (Sauder).

I think the program sounds really exciting for a student who is interested in majoring in Econ, but also wants a global business perspective. I think with Mark Carney at the realm up North and Trump here, Canada is becoming more of an at-reach destination for our kids. It basically costs the same as out of state public college for our kids once you factor in the exchange rate ($60-ish K Canadian dollars = $40-ish K Us dollars). Plus Vancouver is 'chef's kiss' in terms of a world-class city![/quote]

so what's the catch?[/quote]

Getting in! Only 100 spots for 4000 applicants.[/quote]
