Degree Map for Economics


The degree map is a term-by-term sample course schedule to make it easier for you to understand how to graduate in four years with an Economics major. The Degree Map is a tool to assist you and your advisor in planning your academic path to graduation. Use it along with the program of study information for your major (found in the Hunter Catalog) and Degree Works (student degree audit system) to discuss your academic plan with your advisor. Courses required for the major, Hunter Core Requirement (HCR) courses, and elective classes must be selected to concurrently satisfy all Pluralism & Diversity and writing intensive requirements. Students are encouraged to consider pursuing a minor through the selection of electives. Your specific program of study could, and probably will, look different. You need to customize the Degree Map to fit your situation. Consult with your adviser about the best path for you.

Students who wish to select this major may need additional courses to fulfill the requirements in Mathematics and Statistics.  See program details for more information.

Notes:


  • Students placing into MATH 101 or 101EN can still complete the major in four years – sequencing will be shifted by one semester.
  • Majors are advised to complete MATH 15000 (STEM) and ECO 22100 within their first 75 credits of college work and ECO 30000 or ECO 30100 within their first 90 credits. For students already at or beyond these points when they become majors, such courses should be taken within the first 12 credits following declaration of the major.
  • The remaining 12 credits needed to complete the 30-credit major shall be satisfied by other economics courses offered by the department. No courses in accounting or business law may be credited toward the economics major. No more than 3 credits may be at the 100-level (note: ECO 10000, ECO 19600, and ECO 29600 cannot be counted.)
  • Economics majors may find both the minor and the Certificate Program in Public Policy of particular interest.
  • The department strongly urges economics majors who plan to go on to graduate or professional school to choose letter grades rather than CR/NC.
  • For motivated students, the department offers the opportunity to complete both the BA and MA degrees simultaneously, where 30 of the 120 credits required for graduation are graduate credits. Please see the Accelerated BA/MA Economics Degree Map.
