Economics Major - Requirements
Note:
Economics 101H and 102H are prerequisites for all other courses in Economics. A standing of C- (60%) or higher is required in Economics 101H and 102H for registration in upper year Economics courses. With the exception of Economics-Administration 225H and Economics-Administration 220H, two-hundred series courses in Economics are accepted as three-hundred level courses to meet the University requirements of a minimum number of three-hundred series courses.
It is strongly recommended for single-majors, that Economics 320H and Economics 325H, and for joint-majors, that Economics-Administration 225H and Economics-Administration 220H be completed before students enter their fourth quarter.
