When advising a student interested in Economics, please note:

  • MATH 140 or 151 is a prerequisite to ECON 200, 201, and 202 and should be taken the first year.
  • The order in which ECON 100 and 101 are taken does not matter. The same is true for ECON 200 and 201.
  • ECON 190 and 226-286 are sophomore-level electives and can be taken without ECON 200-203. FSECO201 can substitute for a 200-level elective.
  • All Economics majors take an ECON 570-580 level seminar in their first semester senior year. The seminar is the first part of the senior project.
