Related courses are courses taken outside the ECONomics Department, but relate to the field of economics as a supplement to your major.
For a course to apply to the ECON major as a Relateds Course, the course must meet the following criteria:
1. The course must be taken at the 2000 level or higher;
2. The course can NOT be cross-listed with an Economics course in the course description in the University Catalog
3. Any 2000-level or above course taken from any of the departments listed below are pre-approved as ECON related courses and will reflect on your Advisement Report. They do not need to all be in the same department.
| **Please note: any course cross-listed as an ECON course does not count as a related course. It will count as an ECON major course, even if you enroll in the cross-listed section.** |
