ECONOMICS (C30)
Majors in Economics
So that students may select an approach to the study of economics most suitable to their
personal aptitudes and interests, Stern allows students to choose to major in one of the
two official economics majors: business economics or economic theory. Each major is
described below.
Business Economics Major Requirements (12-15 credits)
A major in business economics is well-suited to students who have a general interest in
understanding economic problems and policies and are interested in careers in business,
law, public policy, or any other field in which a thorough understanding of economic
problems and the economic way of thinking would be beneficial.
In addition to the two required core courses, Microeconomics (C30.0001) and
Economics of Global Business (C30.0011), a minimum of four upper-level courses in
economics, as outlined below, are to be taken at the Stern School from the following
designated course lists and the College of Arts and Science (CAS) Department of
Economics.
Note: Many CAS electives require either Intermediate Macroeconomics (V31.0012) or
Intermediate Microeconomics (V31.0010) as prerequisites; C30.0001 is accepted as a
prerequisite in lieu of V31.0010.
At least two of the four courses must be taken at Stern from the following categories:
Category A: At least one C30 Stern economics elective course.
Category B: At least one course from the following list:
Competitive Analysis
C70.0015
Pricing Strategies
C55.0053
Game Theory
C70.0020
Intermediate Macroeconomics
V31.0012
Students can fulfill the remaining elective course requirements by choosing at least two
courses from the following list, including any courses from the lists above that were not
taken as category A or B requirements for the major.
