Suggestions: Students majoring in economics are advised to try to complete the required two MATH courses and the ECON 111, 332, 333, and 334 courses no later than the middle of their junior year. An increasing number of economics majors are choosing to undertake graduate study in economic theory and analysis as preparation for their careers as professional economists in government, business and academic positions. Because mathematics and statistics are essential tools for graduate education and professional work in economics, the department recommends that students contemplating graduate study in economics prepare themselves in both subjects. Consequently, a mathematics minor is advised, by taking: MATH 119, 120, 239, 345, 305, and either 337 or 343. In addition, ECON 350 (Introduction to Econometrics) should be included among the economics courses taken for the major.
