Hints & Tips
-
Take 378/388 and 380/382 in consecutive semesters. This will minimize the trauma of forgetting important material for the next course.
-
Complete the 300-level courses as soon as possible. You will understand the fields courses so much better if you have a firm understand of basic core concepts.
-
Watch out for prerequisites. Many professors require 378, 380, 381, 382 and sometimes 388 for their 400 level courses.
-
Don't dawdle. If you take at least two economics courses every semester, you will have no trouble graduating on time.
-
Keep an eye on scheduling. Remember that you won't get credit for field courses that you take both at the 200 & 400 level. Plan ahead to keep your options open.
-
If you have already completed Math 112, begin in the second semester of the 5 semseter sequence, taking an additional elective in the third semester.
