Two electives in Economics and Business. Only one elective may be at the 100-level. Only one elective may come from outside the department. For a list of approved electives outside the department, see department website.
Signing up for thesis? The department of Economics & Business handles the creation and assignment of independent blocks for their majors. If you have used a preregistration placeholder and/or are ready to sign up for thesis, please follow the department's instruction on how to register.
DISTINCTION IN BUSINESS, ECONOMICS, AND SOCIETY is awarded by action of the Department to up to the top 20% of graduating majors based on their GPA within the major with the provision that they have also received an A in Senior Thesis.
The Economics Department won’t approve courses taken off-campus towards the major or minor if you are not declared yet, so declaring is the first step.
The Economics Department accepts some relevant coursework from accredited institutions of higher education in lieu of courses completed at CC within the major done during a Study Abroad or Study Away experience. Students are required to ask for course approval before they enroll, so that we may devote faculty time to verifying and documenting each case. Students may request pre-approval on Summit for planned coursework on a Study Abroad or Study Away program to count towards ECON/ME/BESoc/IPE requirements using the Course Approval Form on the required application for Off-Campus Study.
For courses to count as 300-level EC electives, they must generally have Macroeconomic Theory (EC302) and/or Microeconomic Theory (EC301) as prerequisites. Courses with Principles of Economics (EC100) as the only prerequisites are almost always approved as 200-level Economics electives. The Department does not give credit for online learning experiences or internships, and we do not give credit for EC301, and EC302 taken elsewhere during a Study Abroad or Study Away experience. We limit the total number of economics and business courses taken during a Study Abroad or Study Away experience which count toward the major to four.
