Academic advice for LC students
Academic advice for LC students
If you aren't totally sure if you want to be an economics major (or minor), take a 200-level class before taking intermediate microeconomics (301)
Intermediate Micro (301) is only offered in the FALL. It is hard and uses your calculus skills, but pays off
Upper level 300-level topics classes are very fun: 312 Global Health Economics and 360 Advanced Environmental Economics
Intermediate Macro (302) is only offered in the SPRING. It does not require calculus.
If you are interested in data applications:
Take econometrics (303) early
Consider adding the data science minor
