Nfa?

[MastuhDang]

<p>I am an incoming junior transfer, and my major says Economics, NFA. I am assuming NFA stands for Not Formally Accepted, but I don't know.</p>

<p>What exactly does NFA stand for and what does that mean to my major?</p>

<p>Not Formally Admitted to major means that either you have not meet all of the criteria for the major, or it is limited access and you have to apply separately from your admission to the university.</p>

<p>

Economics is a limited-access major. To be admitted into economics, you must have completed at least 52 hours, have earned a “C” or better in ECO2013 and ECO2023, be in good standing at FSU, and have an overall GPA of 2.5. It is a 36-hour major, including the math and statistics courses, and requires at least a “C-“ in all major coursework. The economics major is intended to prepare students for entry into graduate schools and professional schools of law, business, economics, and social sciences. Students learn about the critical issues in economics, the tools needed to analyze those issues and prepare them for entry-level positions in financial, managerial, and administrative areas of the public and private sector. Some of the topics covered include: theory of markets and the price system, the organization of industries, labor supply and its uses, the commercial banking and credit system, government finance, the national income and its production and distribution, economic growth and development, and international trade and finance.

<p>Perhaps you have to have one successful semester at FSU to be formally admitted. You can ask your advisor when your arrive at FSU. Or email and ask.</p>

<p>Here is the MAP. Are you on track for the MAP?<br>

Admission Requirements to Major Program of Studies:
Admission is based on availability of faculty and space, and upon academic performance. Students with 52 or more acceptable credit hours, both ECO 2013 and 2023 completed with a grade of “C” (2.0) or higher, and who are in good academic standing with the University will be given priority consideration for admission to this limited access major, but are not guaranteed admission to the program. A minimum GPA of 2.5 on all college coursework attempted is required for consideration.

Looks like you have to spend a semester before you can formally apply, as it is a limited access major.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot Sunny! I’m going to shoot an email to the undergraduate adviser to see how I can formally apply.</p>

[MastuhDang]

<p>Well Dr. McCaleb replied to my email.</p>

<p>“All first semester transfer students are classified as Economics NFA. At the end of your first semester, your file will be reviewed. If you meet the criteria for admission to the economics majors, you will be automatically reclassified. If you do not meet the criteria, you will have to find a different major.”</p>

<p>Hope this helps for other transfers with questions about NFA.</p>

<p>It also helped me (an incoming freshman) because it says that next to my major.</p>
