It has been estimated that half the economics students visit their advisor only once, to get their programs approved. But faculty advisors represent an invaluable source of knowledge for those who choose to utilize them. If you plan to go to graduate school in any discipline you need to get to know someone before letters of recommendation come due. Students must demonstrate proficiency through the 202 level of a foreign language. If all five foreign language courses up to the 202 level are not required, electives must be substituted so that 192 total credit hours of course work are completed.
Electives provide students with an opportunity to pursue a second major or a minor.
The above curriculum would be ideal for students who wish to work in either the private sector or the public sector, or those who continue on to graduate work in economics, business, or law.
