Economics Electives
Students must take 2
electives at the 3000 level or higher in the department of economics.
Notes:
• If a student takes an
economics elective without having completed micro and macro then that
course will not count towards the major. All
courses in the department with the exception of accounting require both
micro and macro.
• A maximum of 1 elective may be taken at Barnard
• Senior seminars are not
electives.
• Continuing Education/Business
Courses: We do not accept any of the courses from Continuing Education
or the Business school as elective courses, but the department does
offer corporate finance (W4280) that may satisfy students' interest in
this area.
• Courses not listed in the
economics department in the bulletin will not be
counted towards the major unless the student gets prior
approval from his or her advisor.
• The department and Barnard
offer several of the same courses (listed below). If a student takes
the same course in both schools then only one of the two will count as
an elective.
•
W4321 and BC3029 Economic
Development
• W4329 and BC3039 Economics of the Environment
• W4400 and BC3019 Labor Economics
• W4500 and BC3047 International Trade
• W4505 and BC3038 International Money
• G4235 and BC3041 Historical Foundations of Modern Economics
This list is not necessarily
exhaustive and the department reserves the right to deny credit for any
other courses where the subject matter overlaps too much.
Seminars
Every student must take at least W4918
Seminar in Econometrics.
Notes:
• Seniors are given priority in registration for the seminars.
• Seminars do not count as electives.
Grading
Students must receive a grade of at
least C- in order for the course to count towards the major (including
statistics and math). Only W1105 Principles of Economics may be taken
Pass/D/Fail
