Introductory courses in the Economics Department (49.201 and 49.202), which may be taken in either order, survey economic problems, policies, and theory. Required courses in microeconomic and macroeconomic theory and in statistics provide a deeper analytical foundation and the necessary quantitative tools to pursue graduate study in economics.

Besides these twelve courses, a major in Economics must choose one of two options: proficiency in a modern language, or proficiency in quantitative skills. (Consult the “University Academic Policies: Language Requirement” section for details of the language proficiency requirement).
