Northwestern University Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences 13 courses
The introductory courses ECON 201-0 Introduction to Macroeconomics and ECON 202-0 Introduction to Microeconomics must be taken first and in that order. STAT 210-0 Introduction to Probability and Statistics and MATH 220-1 Single-Variable Differential Calculus should also be taken early in the program; the former is a prerequisite for ECON 281-0 Introduction to Applied Econometrics and the latter for ECON 310-1 Microeconomics. ECON 281-0 and the intermediate theory courses should be completed before 300-level field courses are taken. Although only MATH 220-1 is required, majors are strongly urged to take MATH 220-2 Single-Variable Integral Calculus, MATH 230-1 Multivariable Differential Calculus, and MATH 240-0 Linear Algebraβ. Majors considering graduate work in economics are strongly advised to take additional mathematics courses and perhaps a second major in mathematics. Students wishing to pursue in-depth study of econometrics may take the advanced econometrics courses ECON 381-1 and ECON 381-2 without taking introductory econometrics ECON 281-0 first. For students who complete ECON 381-1, ECON 281-0 will be waived. Double-counting note: Weinberg College prohibits double-counting a department course toward some other major or minor, except where this is explicitly permitted in this catalog (see special rules for economics with industrial engineering). Related courses (see below) may double-count. Weinberg College does allow double-counting a department course toward a general bachelor's degree requirement (i.e. degree requirements other than majors or minors). Other programs or schools may have their own restrictions that supersede this, so check the relevant parts of this catalog for possible limits.
