Preparing for the Major

 Students will be required to complete MATH 20 (or equivalent) to be eligible to enroll in the ECON 50 series (a core major requirement). Before taking Math 20, it is recommended that students complete Math 19, which may require an additional 3 units of coursework. Some higher level ECON Field and Elective courses may also require more advanced MATH courses, such as MATH 51. Before taking Math 51, students will need to complete Math 21 or AP Calculus, which may require an additional 4 units of coursework. AP credit is acceptable for MATH 19 and MATH 20.
