Economics/Mccombs Advice Needed

<p>Do you have to take ECO 408K (Micro) before you take ECO 408L (Macro)? Also, what if I take micro at a CC online this semester and then take ECO 408L next semester at UT? Would they allow me to do this or would I have to have taken both Micro and Macro at UT? Also, how hard would it be to take BIO 311C, CH 301, PSY 301, and ECO 408K this semester? Would it be easier or harder if I took micro online through a CC and take Theatre (TD 301) instead at UT so I have 12 hrs at UT and 3 hrs online through the CC for a total of 15 hrs? I am trying to get the 4 indicator courses so that I have the option of internally transferring into mccombs next year. I have credit for Calculus 1 already from AP tests so I just need the other 3 courses. I am currently in CNS undeclared. Would I be allowed to take macro at UT next semester without having credit for micro? Like would I be allowed to take micro at a CC online next semester while taking Macro at UT at the same time? Also for mccombs internal transfer, would BIO 311C and CH 301 satisfy the natural sciences requirement? It says 6 hrs from natural sciences but it also says two courses from either BIO or CH so I don't know if you can take one from each or not.

<p>The science requirement has to be all in the same science.</p>

<p>I’m not sure about the ECO. You should ask your adviser. A single email or 30 second phone call could answer all of your questions.</p>

<p>Micro is a pre-req to Macro.</p>

<p>However, I got my Macro credit from the AP test, and I am taking Micro this semester. You might be able to take Macro elsewhere and then take Micro at UT. Essentially, I am doing this. It is advantageous to me too, since I already know the first unit of Micro, since that was covered by my Macro class. Making a Micro a prereq to Macro makes a lot of sense to me, my high school just didn’t do it that way (and neither does the AP test).</p>

<p>College of Natural sciences has restrictions on what classes you can take while taking classes at UT.</p>

<p>“Concurrent enrollment refers to being simultaneously enrolled at UT-Austin and another educational institution or UT Extension. The College of Natural Sciences permits concurrent enrollment with certain restrictions. Math or science courses cannot be taken concurrently and counted toward a degree unless specifically approved in advance by the college. Students must see their academic advisor for detailed information and to petition for approval.”</p>

<p>So you should really talk to your advisor first before you try to do that to make sure it’s allowed. I dont know if eco is counted as math or science.</p>

<p>Even though you are transferring to business you still have to follow CNS policy. And business has a similar thing where you need approval, anyway.</p>

<p>I am in CNS also. My advisor explained to me that we are not to take any course at another institution which is part of Natural Science at UT. Any other course is allowed. This applies even if it is a course required by your degree plan. I did just that this past spring semester. </p>

<p>There is an online version of both the economics courses available from ACC which are quite painless. If you want to do that, take the one offered by Croxdale.</p>

<p>Fiyero, can you help me on this part.</p>

<p>Do you know a way I can get into the Accounting class even though I am not in McCombs? I am currently in Liberal Arts (Economics) and Accounting classes are restricted for only McCombs students. I am thinking about doing the MPA program and I can take Accounting 311 in the spring and then take Accounting 312 in the summer. But I just need a way to get in those classes.</p>

<p>Check with your advisor and see if you can get coded to pursue the actuarial science option. It is available with any major, not just math. It will allow you to take ACC 311 and 312 as well as a few other courses in McCombs. I don’t know if I would say it is just to take those courses. You may wish to play it off that you are indeed interested in that plan. Play it by ear when you meet with the advisor. You will need permission but it is possible.</p>

<p>Other than that, ACC? Not ideal, but it is possible.</p>
