Curriculum
Every major takes ECN 111, 112, 211, 212, and MAT 109. Beyond this, to complete the major, a student must complete 5 more upper level classes. For the minor, a student needs to complete ECN 111, 112, and four upper-level classes. It is possible for a student to focus their studies on a particular subject area with economics and fulfill the major requirement of taking five upper-level courses. This is useful for anyone with a well-defined idea of what they wish to do after college.
