All Economics Majors must take both ECON 218
and ECON 219 -- the intermediate theory courses in (respectively)
micro-and macroeconomic analysis. These two courses account for 6
of your 24 credits toward the Major. Both courses are open to
sophomores and should be taken as early in your program as possible, for
they provide essential tools for the other 200’s courses. You
may take 218 and 219 in either order, or simultaneously if you wish.
At its April 22, 1999 meeting, the
Department of Economics voted to require a methods course for all
undergraduate majors in Economics. This will be compulsory for all
students entering the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences as of the
Fall 2000 semester. For students who enter the College before that
date, we strongly urge you to complete a Methods course. We
believe that this will help you to better prepare yourself for the
changing job market for Economics Majors.
You must reach a total of 24 credits in
Economics at the 200 level. Currently, students may count toward
their major in Economics one of the following courses: Agricultural and
Resource Economics (ARE) 235, ARE 255, Geography (GEOG) 231, GEOG 234,
GEOG 284W, or GEOG 288W.
Related Courses
What are “related” courses for an
Economics Major? There is no one answer that is right for every
student. A general answer is that four courses will be “related”
(a) if they are especially pertinent to several of the Economics courses
you take, and (b) if they cohere among themselves. Four courses in
Business could cohere; but so could four courses in political science or
sociology,
or four courses on American themes (e.g., in English, History, and
Political Science) to complement one’s study of American economic
history. Ultimately, the choice of your “relateds” comes down
to discussions between you and your advisor. Note that you may
wish to take your related courses as one of the University’s approved
Minors; see the General Catalogue for details.
