Prerequisites

CAS EC 101 or 111, 102 or 112.

Principal Courses

Minimum requirement: nine courses with grades of C or higher, three of which must be CAS EC 201 (formerly EC 303) or 211 Intermediate Microeconomic Analysis, EC 202 (formerly 304) or 212 Intermediate Macroeconomic Analysis, and EC 305 Economic Statistics. CAS EC 201, 202, and EC 305 should be taken before the senior year. SMG SM 221 Statistical and Economic Decision Making I or CAS MA 214 Applied Statistics is an acceptable substitute for CAS EC 305. CAS MA 213 Basic Statistics and Probability is a prerequisite for MA 214. Students choose the remaining six principal courses from CAS EC 320 through EC 699. All 500 level and above economics courses are graduate level courses. Special permission from the instructor is required for undergraduates wishing to take these courses. No course taken at another institution after matriculation in the College of Arts & Sciences may normally be transferred toward the principal courses required for completion of the economics major. Petitions for approval of transfer courses must be submitted in writing to the Undergraduate Instruction Committee of the Department of Economics. Metropolitan College courses are considered transfer courses. Departmental approval of transfer courses is required.

Students choosing economics as their major are required to demonstrate a proficiency in calculus by completing any of the following with a grade of C or higher: CAS MA 121, 122, 123, 124, 127, or 129 or by achieving at least a 3 on the appropriate calculus Advanced Placement Examinations.

Prerequisites

CAS EC 101 or 111, 102 or 112, CAS MA 123 and 124, or 127, or 129.

Principal Courses

The minimum requirement for a major in economics and mathematics is eight courses in economics and seven in mathematics with grades of C or higher. The economics requirement should be distributed as follows: CAS EC 201 (or 211) Intermediate Microeconomics, EC 202 (or 212) Intermediate Macroeconomics, EC 305 Economic Statistics, EC 501 Microeconomic Analysis, EC 502 Macroeconomic Analysis, EC 414 Introduction to Econometrics, and four other courses selected from EC 320 through EC 699. SMG SM 221 and CAS MA 214 are acceptable substitutes for CAS EC 305. The mathematics requirement is described under Mathematics. Substitutions may be made with the approval of the interdepartmental committee for this joint major.

This BA/MA program is identical to that of the BA/MA program in economics described above, except that the candidate must satisfy all requirements for the joint major in economics and mathematics as well as the MA in economics. The departmental BA/MA statement and further information are available from the Graduate Studies Coordinator in the economics department.

Students majoring in other fields in CAS and minoring in economics are required to take CAS EC 101 or 111, 102 or 112, 201 or 211, 202 or 212, and three other courses from EC 320 through EC 699, to be chosen in consultation with their economics advisor and the advisor in their major field. Students must earn a minimum grade of C in courses taken toward the minor. No more than two of these courses may be transfer courses.
