Without math, you absolutely cannot pursue an honors degree in economics. Ironically, you can pursue honors in economics without studying ecology in 12th grade, but not without mathematics.

The reason is that you must study the math principles from 11th and 12th grade in order to pass the first-year core paper, Mathematical Methods in Economics. Additionally, second- and third-year students take Econometrics, which, as you are already aware, blends economics with mathematics.
Under such circumstances, math becomes crucial for this course. Even if you didn't study economics in your 12th grade, you may still succeed in it if you put in the necessary effort. Economics teaches you the fundamentals that are needed in later years.
