Twenty (20) additional units in Economics courses

• No more than 8 additional units at the 200-level, and
• No fewer than 8 units at the 400-level.

Recommendations:

• ECON - 311 and ECON - 312 are prerequisites for many upper division courses in Economics and should be taken as soon as possible.
• Students are advised to combine a Foundation Program with one of the four Areas of Emphasis as the best way to meet the upper-division course requirements.
