Many companies like to hire economics majors because of their broad knowledge about the economy and the world. Economics majors learn about philosophy, history, mathematics, political science, sociology, and statistics, as well as business. They learn to think analytically, rigorously and critically, and to communicate effectively.

No, since there are too many classes that overlap. It is possible to petition to double major in these two fields directly to the Deans Office of the College of Letters and Science, but very few students are approved.

If you have taken ARE 100A and ARE 100B for the ECN 100, only ARE 100A will be allowed for the overlap class. ARE 100B will be considered a required class for the ECN major. Effective Fall 2005, before petitioning for a minor in Manegerial Economics, a student must complete the following lower division courses with a combined grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.80. All of these courses must be taken for a letter grade.

Here you will find a list of EAP Universities. Listed next to the EAP University is the maximum number of units the Economics major will accept toward major requirements. Courses listed from these universities show equivalent UCD courses and also courses not approved for major credit (no credit allowed).

With the exception of ECON 145, none of the upper or lower division courses require that you are a declared major. However, if you are planning to major/minor in Economics, it is highly recommended that you seek advice on your coursework as soon as possible.

A Starting May 2007, you may not enrol in a Major or a Minor program in Economics while being in a Specialist in Management.

Students are welcome to take more than the minimum economics requirements.

Only two classes can overlap between the two majors. Eg., in IRE Track 1 (World Trade and Development) ECN 100 and ECN 101 will be the two overlap classes. ECN 160A and ECN 160B will be for IRE major only and cannot be counted to satisfy ECN requirements.

You will find the website at: www.econ.ucdavis.edu ("Undergraduate" link, then to "EAP/Request New EAP Approval" link). You will need to include a website URL and/or use the browser button to attach course information. You can put multiple courses on one request from the same EAP University.

No. This course is designed for non-majors. You should take 350 Monopoly, Competition, and Public Policy instead which covers the same material but at a higher level.

example: A student wants to take two economics courses during the summer semester at Indiana University: a standard public finance course and a standard trade course. What is the normal policy here? Should the advisor give credit for both courses? The answer is that Economics advisors may approve courses taken at other universities in the U.S. The key issue is whether the courses are the equivalent of our 300-level courses, even if we do not have a counterpart course.
