<p>Is it possible to graduate in 4 years if you transfer to CAS after LSP as an economics major?</p>
<p>What are the reqs?</p>
<p>Can someone help me please? Bump!</p>
<p>I believe it’s possible, but very difficult.</p>
<p>Email the department to get a more accurate response.</p>
<p>No it is possible lol. Especially for Policy. You have about 2 years left and that leaves you 4 semesters with a total of 16 classes to take. That’s more than enough to meet the Econ requirements. The economics department have 3 core req courses for first year and 3 for the second year (junior and senior), and an additional 4 electives. A total of 10 classes at the econ department will get you that major.</p>

<p>Will you be getting credit for AP Calc? What other AP credit will you have?</p>
<p>“A typical sequence of courses consists of the following: by sophomore year, ECON-UA 1, ECON-UA 2, and ECON-UA 18;”. You’ll have a space for the first two of these freshman year given you have the math exp required for each…</p>
<p>If you are definitely going to London, I don’t think those two courses are offered there.</p>

<p>I don’t think you can wait until junior year because of the sequencing. You really need to plot this out looking closely at the prereqs for each course.</p>
<p>If you are not dead set on London, you could write to Admissions, explain your concern and ask to be considered for a spot in NY. This way you could at least get Econ 1 and 2 out of the way. I have heard of a few students who were able to switch locations.</p>
<p>– I dont think that transferring from LSP to CAS for an econ major is that easy. LSP course allow only one elective for each semester of Freshman year, and econ majors have math pre-reqs for many courses. </p>
<p>Here is requirement for NYU econ major in CAS. I dont see how anyone can start in LSP, and then major in ECON and graduate in 4 years, if at all. Anyone without excellent math ability, and placing well is going to struggle. </p>

<p>At least 42 points (10 courses) are to be taken in the Department of Economics: six core courses (ECON-UA 1, ECON-UA 2, ECON-UA 10, ECON-UA 12, the 6-point ECON-UA 18, and ECON-UA 238), plus four electives. Of these four electives, at least two must be numbered ECON-UA 300-399.</p>
<p>A typical sequence of courses consists of the following: by sophomore year, ECON-UA 1, ECON-UA 2, and ECON-UA 18; by junior year, ECON-UA 10, ECON-UA 12, and ECON-UA 238; by senior year, four electives. Note: Statistics is to be taken as early as possible. Senior-level courses (300 level and above) presume a knowledge of statistics.</p>
<p>Students are strongly advised to pay close attention to the prerequisites for each course, as they will be strictly enforced. Students should be aware that Algebra and Calculus (MATH-UA 9), or its equivalent, is required for the principles classes (ECON-UA 1 and ECON-UA 2). Students intending to major in economics must have a strong working knowledge of algebra and introductory calculus. Furthermore, a course in calculus (MATH-UA 121) is required for the intermediate courses and statistics (ECON-UA 10, ECON-UA 12, and ECON-UA 18). A grade of C or better is needed to pass both the economics and the mathematics requirements. Both Economic Principles I (ECON-UA 1) and Economic Principles II (ECON-UA 2) are required for intermediate macroeconomics (ECON-UA 12).</p>
<hr>
<p>In addition, all CAS grads have to meet normal CAS requirements including foreign language</p>
<p>If i were you i would ignore the lengthy paragraph description. It’s definitely possible… I personally know someone who just got out of LSP and is doing a double in psychology and economics. You don’t need to go through all the CAS MAP requirements once you come out of the LSP program. All you will need to take is classes that fulfil your major requirements. 10 courses for econ and 1 Calc I if you havnt already done it. That’s it.For now i would suggest you to bare in mind that it’s DEFINITELY POSSIBLE, and discuss your schedule in detail with your advisor if you do decide to come. </p>
<p>And if you are worried about prereq, you can take ECON UA 1 & 2 and ECON UA 18 and Calc I in one semester, take 2 out of 3 Econ 10, 12 and International econ, and then mix it with your electives. It is definitely possible, trust me… And not that hard.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the input guys. I haven’t committed yet, but what are the chances of admissions moving someone from LSP to the NYC campus?</p>
<p>Castro, are you saying that LSP kids do not have to meet foreign language requirement? I think you are wrong.</p>
<p>Love that advice, dont bother to read lenghty explanation that comes straight from Econ department. Does anyone here spend up to $200,000 for something and not read the fine print???</p>
<p>I would like to see how anyone without full credit for all math prereqs and for language has a chance of getting through in 4 years. Do you understand that you need calculus for intermediate econ? So year one, you get two electives (less if you need foreign language – or do you want to wait till senior year, when you are in CAS, cant take it pass fail and forgot what you learned in HS? Whatever). But lets say two electives. Unless you place out of alegebra, you cant even take Intro Econ. But lets say you placed out of alegebra, and take Intro econ. Soph year you cant Intermediate Econ without Calculus.</p>
<p>Look Kayf do you even go to NYU. Have you even read the course requirements for LSP? It’s a two year program and you need 64 credits. Each class is 4 credits so it comes down to 16 classes. Out of the 64 credits you have to take, you have to take 8 credits for two classes in Writing, 3 classes in Culture foundations, 3 classes in Social foundations, 12 credits of science OR MATH and 24 ADDITIONAL LIBERAL ARTS COURSES.</p>
<p>So LSP already requires you to complete the rudimentary level of math like algebra and precalc ,and other easy stuff. In the 24 additional credit section ( this is about 6 classes you can take), principles of econ I and II are offered, so before you become a junior you can already complete 2 out of the 6 core courses after your sophomore year. </p>
<p>When you hit Junior fall, you should be able to take CALC I which is the only math required for MOST of the econ electives. You should be taking Statistics, and you can take Intermediate Micro or Macro. You have more than ENOUGH spaces to complete an econ major in the 2 years after you transfer from lsp in your sophomore spring. </p>
<p>I said that the LSP are exempted from a couple of the MAP requirements like culture&context, text&ideas, and they can take the sciences&math while in LSP. You still have to take 2 foreign language courses, you can choose to place out of it if you speak a second language which is pretty easy. </p>
<p>And i’m advising the op to not read things they can just found on the web. I’m sure his hoping to hear from NYU students who knows what’s going on. </p>
<p>And to answer the OP. The chances are quite high. They are not going to keep you there in your foreign sites forever… You are only going to be there for one year. My friend was in Florence for a year. To transfer out of LSP into CAS, you need a minimum GPA of 3.4. It’s not hard at all. </p>
<p>I’m not even going to bother reading kayf’s last paragraph. The content is probably as useful as the labels you get on your fast food. </p>
<p>Again OP, what i suggest you is that look at the link i sent you: [Program</a> Requirements, LS: TCP | NYU](<a href=“http://core.ls.nyu.edu/object/totalrequirements09.html]Program”>http://core.ls.nyu.edu/object/totalrequirements09.html)</p>
<p>Plan your courses ahead. If you are aiming for an econ major, make sure u can complete principles of econ I&II, whatever math courses you have to take in order to take Calc I in junior fall. Take science courses to meet the Nat sci requirement. See if you can place out of foreign languages requirement. To be honest if you are thinking about econ, i hope that you have some quantitative AP scores… </p>
<p>Hope this helps :D</p>
<p>Actually, you need a 2.0 GPA coming from LSP, not a 3.4:</p>
<p>" In order to transition seamlessly between programs, students must meet specific program requirements and be in good academic standing at the end of the sophomore year. As NYU, good academic standing typically is defined as a minimum 2.0 GPA." </p>

<p>K my bad on providing the wrong info, sorry. But let’s be honest, and here is my personal opinion, i highly doubt that they’ll accept your transfer with a 2.0. That is a C average… Usually the GPA req for admissions are always higher than what it’s publicly announced. Anyways, thanks NYU’13</p>
<p>And seriously OP. If you had a 3.5 GPA for IB (not bad at all) i hope you have at least 1 or 2 IB scores above 6 or 7. You are an Asian male… how good are you with your native language? Cuz if it’s average you can just take the placement exam and get out of the requirement… when i was in CAS i took the Chinese placement exam even though my Chinese was horrible… It’s not that hard. Again, if you are in IB, i don’t think getting a 3.0+ would be hard for you at all.</p>
<p>Castro, both the math component and the econ classes are very sequential. So if one is using the LSP courses to satisfy the Intro Econ pre-req, then one can not take the Intro to Econ before that LSP course. </p>
<p>I dont think the question is transferring to CAS, its the Econ major.</p>
<p>Can I fulfill my math (Calculus I) requirement (is that the only math req?) with AP Calc AB/BC credits and possibly Math HL credit from HS so I don’t have to worry about math?</p>
<p>Castro, Haha well the reason why my HS gpa was so low was because I horribly slacked off my freshman/sophomore year and it was only mid 1st semester of my junior year that I really started to rev it up. I’m not really good at math but I’m pretty good with my other subjects. Honestly, the only IB exam I worry about is my math. Everything else should be a 5+ score minimum. </p>
<p>And Castro, I’m not worrying about doing bad in NYU since I’ve already recovered from slacking in my previous years.</p>
<p>I’m going to stay out of this, but just have one more piece of advice. Below are the Econ courses offered in LSP that Castostern mentioned. Call the Econ Dept and see if they will take the place of Econ 1 and Econ 2 for the Econ major. </p>
<p>Principles of Macroeconomics
ECI-UF 0101 4 points
This course introduces basic concepts of macroeconomic theory.
Principles of Microeconomics
ECII-UF 0102 4 points
This course introduces basic concepts of microeconomic theory by examining price theory and its applications.</p>
<p>Mercurial – I think you should be in good shape - [NYU</a> > CAS > Bulletin 2010 - 2012 > Mathematics > 2010 - 2012 > Program of Study](<a href=“http://cas.nyu.edu/object/math.1012.ug.req]NYU”>http://cas.nyu.edu/object/math.1012.ug.req)</p>
<p>No it was also one of OP’s questions “but what are the chances of admissions moving someone from LSP to the NYC campus?” Also, the ECON UA I and II are not LSP courses. They are courses by the econ department that also satisfies the elective requirements of the LSP 2 year program. Which means the two out of the six core ECON majors have to take can be taken while you are still in LSP and will count towards your ECON major. There is not pre-req for Econ UA I and II because they are introduction courses. I was an Econ&Math double major…My friend is a rising junior from sophomore who’s double major psychology and Econ. Trust me… I know what’s going on.</p>
