Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs
Curriculum
Requirements for the major include at least 27 credits in economics, providing strong foundations in micro- and macroeconomics through introductory and intermediate courses. These are followed by more specialized courses or electives. The program is a good fit for students interested in other areas of social sciences, communications, engineering and more.
Required courses include:
- Business Calculus
- Two principles of economics courses
- Six advanced courses in economics
The B.S. degree in economics includes more mathematical/statistics/econometric subjects than the B.A. degree, including at least 27 credits from the Economics Department in addition to Calculus I and II from the Department of Mathematics. The B.A. degree works particularly well for students who pursue multiple majors or minors, who start the economics major later in their undergraduate careers, or who wish to study economics using an analytical but not mathematical approach.
