Suggested 4-year Plan
- We encourage you to select your General Education (GE) and minor/second major/Themed Inquiry/Honors program around the plan below. Once you fill your GE classes around your major classes, you will have a better idea of space remaining each semester when choosing your Exploration Focus.
- To be enrolled full time, you must take at least 12 credits a semester.
- In order to graduate within 4 years, we recommend you take 30 credits a year.
Year 1
Fall Semester (6 credits for major)

- ECON 200 - Principles of Microeconomics (3 credits)
Spring Semester (6 credits for major)

* If you need to take MATH 100 & MATH 100L, you can visit the Argyros Advising Office to reconfigure your plan. Also, you may substitute MATH 109 - Calculus with Applications in Business and Social Science (3 credits) for MATH 110 - Single Variable Calculus I (3 credits). However, students planning to pursue graduate studies in economics are strongly advised to take MATH 110 and additional mathematics courses under the guidance of their advisor.
