ECONOMICS/FINANCE
DR. SATYAJIT GHOSH, Chairperson
The major in ECONOMICS, which is available both through the School of Management and the
College of Arts and Sciences (p. 78), provides an excellent training for understanding the economic events
and developments of our complex industrialized society and of the world economies. It equips the student
with training and background needed to assume responsible managerial positions in industry, commerce,
banking, or government service. It also gives a strong preparation for the pursuit of graduate studies in
Economics or the legal profession.

TOTAL: 130 Credits
1. See note on Math Options in Undergraduate Catalog, page 154.
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 registered in the School of Management will apply 9 of their elective cognate credits to one of the following areas (exceptions
require the permission of the SOM Dean): Finance, Management, Marketing, Operations Management. The remaining cognate credits may
be applied to the social sciences or from the other business areas (but note that no more than 30 credits altogether can be taken in business subjects,
exclusive of economic courses). Care must be taken to observe prerequisites.
MINOR: 18 credits — ECO 153, 154, (ECO 101,102); 361, 362 plus two upper level ECO courses (SOM majors may not use ECO 351).
