Academic Bulletin

When advising a student interested in Economics, please note:

• MATH 140, 141, 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.
• There is no minor in Business
• Students cannot double major in Business and Economics.
