GEP Signature Courses (See Curricula): six courses

GEP Variable Courses (See Curricula): six to nine courses, including:

A. Social/Behavioral Sciences: Principles Microeconomics (ECN 101)

B. Natural Science: A natural science course with a laboratory, or two courses without a laboratory

C. GEP Overlays (See Curricula):

D. Math "Beauty"

 

Students can take one of the following courses to fulfill the math "Beauty" requirement of the GEP.

MAT 131	Linear Methods
MAT 132	Mathematics of Games and Politics
MAT 134	The Mathematics of Uncertainty: Counting Rules and Probability
MAT 155	Fundamentals of Calculus (Students who earn a 4 or 5 on the AB or BC Calculus AP test have fulfilled the Math Beauty requirement)
MAT 161	Calculus I (Students who earn a 4 or 5 on the AB or BC Calculus AP test have fulfilled the Math Beauty requirement)

 

E.Integrated Learning Component (ILC): Economics majors must take one course from each of the following three categories

 

1. Any Statistics Course, including:

MAT 118	Introduction to Statistics
MAT 128	Applied Statistics
MAT 322	Mathematical Statistics

 

2. Brief Business Calculus

 

Note: For students who have already taken Calculus 1, no additional math courses are required for the economics major. For these students, the second ILC course may be satisfied with one of the following:

 

Any additional math course (this is in addition to the Beauty requirement and the statistics requirement). For students considering graduate school in economics, we highly recommend additional courses in Calculus or linear algebra.

Any Computer Science (CSC) course

Any Political Science (POL) course
Economic Ethics (THE 373)

 

3. Choose one of the following:

 

An additional math course (this is in addition to the Beauty requirement, the statistics requirement, and the Brief Business Calculus course listed above). For students considering graduate school in economics, we highly recommend students take at least a year of calculus.

Any Computer Science (CSC) course

Any Political Science (POL) course
Economic Ethics (THE 373)

 

Major Concentration:

ECN 301	Microeconomic Theory
ECN 302	Macroeconomic Theory
ECN 410	Econometrics (for students starting SJU in 2011 or beyond)

and any six additional ECN 300/400-level economics courses
