Economics Department Undergraduate Program
Transfer Credit
A maximum of 3 transfer courses can be used to fulfill the major. For students transfering with junior status and above, a minimum of 5 ECO courses must be taken at University of Rochester.
- 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.
