Economics Department Undergraduate Program
Transfer Credit
A maximum of 3 transfer courses are permitted of which only one may
be used to substitute for the core courses (207, 209, 231).
- Students requesting transfer credit
should obtain the catalogue, the course descriptions or the syllabus of
the course they plan to take. These materials should be brought to the Undergraduate
Coordinator in Harkness 238.
- Economics courses at other institutions
can transfer for elective credit only if they have a prerequisite of principles
of economics.
- Washington Semester and British
Politics Semester do not provide concentration credit in economics. However,
economics courses taken in conjunction with these courses can provide transfer
credit. Washington Semester and British Politics Semester may count as
allied field courses.
- Summer courses offered by the
Economics Department at the University of Rochester do not require transfer
credit approval.
- Transfer credit for ECO 108 requires
a course (or courses) that cover(s) both principles of Microeconomics and
Macroeconomics.
- Students passing the International
Baccalaureate degree at the "A"-level (or above) can receive placement out
of 108, but not credit.
- AP credit will be awarded for ECO 108 for students who receive a 4 or higher on the Microeconomics portion and a 3 or higher on the Macroeconomics portion.
