Note: Because the curriculum is changing in the 2009-2010 academic year, requirements for majors graduating in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 are slightly different. The requirements listed above hold for all majors graduating in 2013. Majors graduating in 2012 have the option of taking a two semester introductory sequence of Economics 101, Introduction to Microeconomics, and Economics 102, Introduction to Macroeconomics, or simply Economics 105. Those students taking Economics 101 and 102 will only be required to take 3 electives, with two being at the 300 level. Students graduating in 2010 and 2011 will adhere to the previous requirements (not listed here) which included the two semester introductory sequence, only three electives, one of which is 300 level, and a one semester senior research seminar.
