Economics Study Abroad Credits

This is a list of transfer credits that the Economics Department has accepted in the past, and we are certainly willing to consider other possible economics classes for transfer.  However, be sure to work with Northwestern's Study Abroad Office at each step.  

You will need to get pre-approval from an economics adviser before you go, and then get an economics adviser to sign off on transferring your credits after you  get back.  (Here is the key form for WCAS students.)

We will accept up to two economics credits per term of study, up to a maximum of four in one year, subject to approval by an economics adviser.  A year-long economics class can count as two Northwestern economics credits.  If you are considering taking one of the economics core classes abroad, it should be very similar to what we offer here.  If you are considering taking an Economics 300-level field class, it need not be like anything we offer, but it should be a serious economics class with economics courses as prerequisites.  

Please let me know if you have any questions about this.  Mark Witte (mwitte@northwestern.edu)
