Economics Major at Scripps & CMC

<p>Is it possible to major in economics at CMC as a Scripps student? Does CMC make it difficult for students from the other colleges to take economics classes or major at their college?</p>

<p>If Scripps does not offer a major in econ then you can easily major at the 5 C school where it is offered. That is the beauty of how the 5C’s are set up. My D’s major is at Pomona.</p>

<p>Scripps does offer Econ, so you would not be able to major at CMC. However, you would be able to take classes at CMC (particularly since they have a whole range of classes in business which Scripps does not offer). CMC sometimes makes it difficult to register for classes, but that usually means they set a quota for of-campus students, or you just have to get instructor permission (which is easy as pie). </p>

<p>If you’re trying to decide between the two schools, I’d suggest visiting both and setting up appts to meet with a member of the Econ faculty at both to get a feel for the nuances between the two programs.</p>

<p>Any Scripps economics majors on CollConf who went on to do the Accelerated B.A./M.A. Degree Program offered through Claremont Graduate University (CGU) and the School of Politics and Economics (SPE)?</p>
