In order to receive a degree in Economics,
you must complete all of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences’
General Education Requirements for your "Catalog Year”, as well
as all of the Economics Degree Requirements, reaching a total of 120
credits. As part of these two sets of requirements, you need to
complete at least 24 credits of 200’s-level work in Economics, and at
least 12 credits at the same level in a “related” field. By
planning carefully with your advisor, many of your economics and related
courses may also fulfill General Education Requirements.
Preparatory Work
The principles courses - ECON 111 (Macro)
and ECON 112 (Micro), or ECON 113 (both Macro and Micro) -- are the
starting point for an Economics Major. Those principles are basic
to your coursework in the 200’s-level courses, and can be used to
satisfy the College’s General Education Requirements (Social
Scientific)
Outside Economics, majors are required to
take STAT 100 or 110; and either MATH 106Q, 113Q, 115Q, 118Q, or
120Q. Math 115Q or 106Q are preferred. If you entered the
university before Fall 1996, you may meet this requirement by passing
MATH 105Q or passing the calculus readiness test. In addition, we
recommend that you take Statistics 230 and 231, which can also be used
to meet the College’s General Education Requirements.
Because good writing skills are
important, the Department also recommends that its majors take English
249W, Advanced Expository Writing, which can be applied to the Economics
Degree Requirements.
