Sample Schedule for B.S. in Economics and Mathematical Sciences

Taking the time to plan one's college courses is paramount to a successful academic career. Many courses are sequenced and offered only one term per academic year. Below you will find a sample schedule which allows students to fit the Undergraduate Economics Program's requirements for the B.S. in Economics into four years. When considering the schedule below, students should realize that what is included is the minimum requirements for the degree; the successful students enhance their degree by pursuing more courses than this minimum and take higher level courses in complementary departments/programs.
