Notes

  1. Students who intend to pursue graduate studies in economics should select MAT 1300 or the sequence MAT 1320 and MAT 1322. A strong background in mathematics helps students succeed in advanced courses and graduate studies in economics.

  2. Students who intend to participate in the CO-OP program should take ECO 2150 and ECO 2151 in their second year.
