Additional Information
-At most two Economics courses can be exempt with AP credit.
- Courses must be taken for a letter grade, except for Economics 394, and students must maintain an overall 2.0 (C) grade point average in courses used to complete a major.
- Economics 449, Economics Internship, is offered to economics majors and minors only and must be taken on an S/U basis.
- Economics 101 and 112 are prerequisites for higher numbered courses in Economics and for admission to the undergraduate program in the Business School. Economics 101 must be completed before enrolling in Economics 112. Business 201 can substitute for Economics 101.
- Generally, Economics 20l, 2l2, and 220 are taken at Emory. Only under extraordinary circumstances may these courses be taken at other institutions; prior written approval of the director of undergraduate studies is required.
- Courses taken at another institution, before or after enrolling at Emory, will not count toward the major unless written permission is given by the director of undergraduate studies, even if the College has accepted credit for the courses.
- We strongly recommend that students who plan to write an honors thesis complete Economics 201, 212, 220, and Econ 420 or 422 by the end of their junior year.
