Supporting Coursework for Econometrics & Quantitative Economics (BSLAS)

The Supporting Coursework Requirement enhance your degree by providing a focused concentration of knowledge outside of the economics discipline. The concentration promotes multidisciplinary perspectives, and encourages students to build their skills. This requirement should align with your future pursuits and interests.

Double Majors, Dual Degrees, and Minor Coursework may be used (check with an Advisor to confirm if yours meets all of the requirements).

MEET WITH AN ECON ADVISOR TO DISCUSS SUPPORTING COURSEWORK

Schedule an Appointment with an Economics Advisor to discuss options which fit your academic and career plans. An advisor will need to approve your Supporting Coursework plan using a Major Plan of Study form (completed during an appointment), which we recommend to be done your Junior year.
