1998-1999 - The University of Scranton

ECONOMICS
DR. GHOSH, Chairperson
The Arts and Sciences major in Economics offers students a strong general liberal arts background and
at the same time a thorough grounding in the most quantitative of the social sciences. Its major requirements
parallel those of the School of Management Economics major (see p. 189), while its cognate provides
background in the social sciences. This major is especially appropriate for students intending graduate
studies in Economics, or careers in law or government service. Course descriptions for major courses begin
on p. 190.

1. See note on Math Options in Undergraduate Catalog, page 183.
2. If EDUC 113 is required in the first semester it is taken in place of a humanities elective and is counted as a GE free elective. One GE free elective in the fourth year
must then be taken as a humanities elective.
3. If a third math course is required, it replaces this GE elective.
4. Economics majors may apply up to six cognate credits toward a Math minor. Students taking the sequence open to math majors are strongly urged to complete the
calculus sequence by taking MATH 222, particularly if they plan on pursuing graduate studies.
Economics majors in the College of Arts and Sciences will apply their elective cognate credits to the following areas (exceptions require the permission of the
CAS Dean): Political Science, Psychology, Public Administration, Sociology. Nine credits must be in the same field.
MINOR: 18 credits - ECO 153, 154; (or ECO 101, 102); ECO 361, 362, plus two upper-level economics courses.
