The individual learning plan is your personal guide to your educational experience, enabling you to develop a theme or area of focus for your studies. For example, you may wish to take electives focusing on a particular geographical region or pursue a minor in a non-economics discipline; the development of an individual learning plan will help outline and guide the actions necessary for you to take to achieve that goal.
Elective courses for the Bachelor of International Economics may be taken from the Faculty of Arts or other faculties at UBC (with the exception of commerce). You are strongly advised to take 6 credits of additional upper level economics courses as electives in order to gain a deeper knowledge of a particular area of economics.
New BIE students should contact the BIE Academic Advisor during your first term of study for assistance to start developing your individual learning plan.
