June 1, 2009

Dear Economics Student,

Congratulations on your success in your recent Principles of Economics course!  

Your name was passed on to the Honours committee based on your high

achievement this year.  

If you have recently graduated, congratulations! It was a pleasure having you take a

course in the Department of Economics and we wish you success in your next

endeavour.  If, on the other hand, you are still working on your undergraduate degree

and are interested in making Economics your principal

field of study, I want to draw your attention to the possibility of pursuing an Honours

degree in the Department of Economics.

Honours is an enriched program taken by students with superior ability and a keen

interest in Economics. Classes are much smaller and some courses are specifically

available for this category of students. Lectures are more intensive and may feature

more active student involvement, such as presentat

ions and class discussions. Honours students tend to form relationships with their

peers, studying together and meeting each other throughout the year, in particular at

some social events and at the annual Honours economics weekend retreat in

January. Employment opportunities with an Honours

degree are much better than with a General degree. Moreover, the Honours program

forms the traditional preparation for graduate school if you are considering qualifying

for a Masters degree or beyond that, a Ph.D.

If you are interested in this challenging but rewarding program, this may be the best

time to join it. On page 117 of the University's 2009/10 Undergraduate Calendar you

find paragraph 4.3.2-4.3.4 re entry to and graduation from the Faculty of Arts

Honours programs. Specifics on various Honours pro

grams in Economics are given on pp. 139-140. In all instances B level performances

in Economics and in Arts overall play important (if not essential) roles.

Furthermore, on page 139 of the Undergraduate Calendar you find under the

Economics' tabular material note no. 5 which specifies how theory courses in the

General program may sometimes be used for credit toward the Honours degree.

If you are interested in pursuing the Honours possibility at this time, please contact

the Department of Economics General Office (501 Fletcher Argue; phone 474- 9207

or 474-6239) for names of the members of the Economics Honours Studies

Committee and their availability during the next several mont

hs.  

We hope to hear from you soon. In the meantime: have a pleasant spring and

summer!

On behalf of the Honours Studies Committee,

Dr. Irwin Lipnowski

Department of Economics

University of Manitoba

apperantly I scored 96% in the course and they want to have my babies. The math and Statistics departments also want to have my babies. But seriously, same day, 3 almost identical emails.

It's fake, lmfao.

Nope, spoke to the math department today because Im going into a mathematics program.

Didn't look legit, at least to me. But touche.

I usually get some stupid E-mails telling me I got into a College, free scholarship. I just laugh and say "I LIK3 TROJANS!"

Where I come from, you're sent letters to your house when you get accepted to uni.

My university uses email frequently for alot of things. I also checked that I prefer to be contacted by email opposed to regular mail.

Haha.

Why Math though?

Well, theres a saying at my university "why aren't you in math then?" "well, you see... I want a career not a job". I'd be happy with a job.
