Course Requirements Prior to Studying Abroad

To ensure that students are able to complete the requirements for the MCAS Economics major or minor in time for graduation, all students must have completed Statistics and either Micro or Macro Theory before studying abroad. We strongly recommend聽that both Theory courses and Econometric Methods are completed before studying abroad as well, as those courses must be taken no later than the junior year.

Requirements for receiving credit towards the Economics major, minor, or concentration for courses taken abroad.

The following requirements must be met for a course to transfer back credits towards the major or minor:

1. MCAS Economics majors and minors, and CSOM Economics concentrators must earn at least a B- in at least one of the Intermediate Theory courses before going abroad.

2. Micro Theory, Macro Theory, Statistics and聽 Econometric Methods cannot be taken abroad.

3. Classes to be taken abroad must be approved for content. The Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) for Economics will determine if the course counts as a lower-level (2000 level) or upper-level (3000 level) elective. As a general rule of thumb, lower-level courses require Principles (ECON1101) as a prerequisite. Upper-level electives require Micro and/or Macro Theory, at a minimum, as prerequisites. Please send a detailed and complete course syllabus to the (DUS) to have the course(s) reviewed and approved. Note: while syllabi from past semesters may serve as useful guides, ultimately the DUS will need to approve the syllabus for the semester in which the student will be abroad. Please do NOT send the DUS all syllabi from an institution to review; instead decide upon the classes that interest you, see if you can determine the level of the course, and then email it to the DUS for official approval. Also remember that the courses from abroad that count towards your MCAS Economics major or minor, must be similar to what you could take at 自慰视频 in the Economics Department and not in CSOM.
   
   Students seeking credit for the 自慰视频 Core will need to consult with the 自慰视频 academic department responsible for the relevant areas of the core. More information can be found here.

4. The course must have the appropriate number of credit hours. OGE determines the course credit hours. If you have questions about the number of credit hours a course has, please check with the Academic Operations Administrator

5. The student must receive a C- or above in the course (if taken in an external program) to receive transfer credit at 自慰视频.

6. You cannot have exceeded the limit of courses that can be taken 鈥渙utside of the department.鈥� General department policy is that students may apply up to three external credits (e.g., AP exams, WCAS, study abroad) Students can take one introductory course (e.g., ECON1101) and two electives outside of the 自慰视频 Economics Department.聽 Students studying abroad for an entire year are allowed an extra elective, however. All intermediate courses (i.e. Theories, Statistics, and Econometrics) must be taken through the 自慰视频 Economics department. Exceptions are made for transfer students. In general for single semester abroad programs, students may take a maximum of two courses abroad; for full-year programs, students may take a maximum of three courses abroad. Students who have previously taken summer courses, those with advanced placement should discuss their individual situations with the DUS. (You can see more details on these limits on the FAQ page.). Please note that it is not always possible to take more than one elective abroad so careful planning is required.

7. A course must generally be a 3 credit course to qualify but you may combine two 2-credit-hour courses to count for one elective, or three 2-credit-hour courses to count for two electives. The Department collects a list of classes it has approved and will share it with students. Student Services also has a copy of this list. Therefore, if a course you take is on the list, it will automatically be placed on your degree audit when Student Services receives the grade from the host university, assuming you have met all of the other requirements listed above.
