Sample Course Schedules for Programs of Study in Economics
The following schedules are illustrative of how a student might complete the major. Many students elect to take additional Economics and Mathematics courses for their free electives, but free electives can be used to take any course of a student's choosing. With the exception of the sequencing of the courses - Eco 108 before Eco 207, Eco 230 before Eco 231, taking calculus early, a student is free to take the courses when they work best for them. We offer a number of examples below. The examples assume the 2 semester calculus sequence. Students taking the 141, 142, 143 sequence would have to add an additional calculus course. Some students will enter Economics after their Freshman year. This is not a problem as long as there is sufficient time to sequence the courses as explained above.
