Overview
The major in Economics, which is available both through the Kania School of Management and the College of Arts and Sciences, provides an excellent training for understanding the economic events and developments of our complex industrialized society and of the world economies. It equips the student with training and background needed to assume responsible decision-making positions in the financial sector, industry, commerce, banking, or government service. It also gives a strong preparation for the pursuit of graduate studies in Economics or the law.
Minor in Economics
18 credits consisting of ECO 153, 154 (or ECO 101, 102), 361, 362, plus two upper level ECO courses (Kania School students may not use ECO 351).

| 1 Students are tested for math placement during summer orientation. On the basis of these tests and their high school background it will be recommended that some students take Option II, especially if they expect to pursue graduate studies. The majority of students will be placed in Option I, and may also be required to take MATH 106: Quantitative Methods I as a prerequisite to taking MATH 107. |
2 If EDUC 113 is required in the first
semester, it is taken in place of a humanities elective and is counted as a GE
free elective. One GE free elective in the fourth year must then be taken as a
humanities elective.
3 Economics majors may apply up to 6 cognate credits toward a math minor. Students taking the sequence open to math majors are strongly urged to complete the calculus sequence by taking MATH 222, particularly if they plan on pursuing graduate studies. Economics majors registered in the Kania School of Management will apply 9 of their elective cognate credits to one of the following areas (exceptions require the permission of the KSOM Dean): Accounting, Finance, International Business, Management, Marketing, Operations Management. The remaining cognate credits may be applied to the social sciences or from the other business areas (but note that no more than 30 credits altogether can be taken in business subjects, exclusive of Economics courses). Care must be taken to observe prerequisites.
4 If a third math course is required, it replaces this GE elective. |
