<p>Is it a requirement for the College of Letters and Sciences?</p>
<p>No. Econ 1 may be a lower div requirement for CERTAIN majors but it is not a class that fulfills any of the GE area requirements.</p>
<p>No, GE requirements doesn’t force you take any courses in any particular subject area. GE categories tend to have peculiar titles, such as “Literary and Cultural Analysis”. The categories expand over a vast array of different courses in numerous departments.</p>
<p>In case the question you intended to ask was whether an Economics major must satisfy GE requirements, the answer is, yes, we do.</p>
<p>Well I’m taking AP Economics right now and I was wondering if I should even take the AP test. Because I’m not planning to go into business and I couldn’t find it on the list of GE’s.</p>
<p>If you’re definitely not going into economics or business, I guess you don’t ever need to take the test.</p>
<p>ugh, i paid the deposits for both. there goes 30 bucks!</p>
<p>you never know… might be helpful if you can do well enough to advance to higher level econ courses.</p>
<p>You can’t fill any GE requirements with AP tests anyway. The main thing AP classes get you is an improved class standing, so it’s definitely worth taking for that. Then there’s always the possibility you end up wanting to do something related to econ, and repeating the class would then be a huge waste of time.</p>
