MATH 376 or MATH 260 may be substituted for MATH 160.
Only courses for which a student has received a C or better may count for the major.
Majors are required to complete a senior thesis in ECON 411.
Students who study abroad may apply two approved elective courses toward their Economics major.
One unit of ECON 495/496 may be counted as upper division elective with prior approval.
The major requires three economics electives at the 200 level or above, at least one of which must be at the 300
level or above. BUS 431 or 432 may be counted as one of the three electives.
Of the three units of upper division coursework required outside the first major, the Connections course will count
for one unless it is used to meet a major requirement.
