Question regarding an Economics Major

<p>I just got an e-mail saying that I was required to complete three courses prior to starting my Economics major </p>

<p>" Students must take the following three courses (or an equivalent) prior to petitioning for entry to an economics major: Economics 1 (Introductory Microeconomics), Economics 2 (Introductory Macroeconomics), and Econ/AMS 11A (Math Methods for Economists) or Math 11A (Calculus with Applications) or Math 19A (Calculus for Science, Engineering, and Mathematics"</p>

<p>Would I do these courses once I began at the university or must I arrange to complete them before I arrive? I'm an international applicant so i'm not entirely sure what the protocol is. :P</p>

<p>Thanks in Advance :)</p>

<p>You would take these courses once you come to santa cruz, these are just prerequisites you must complete before declaring your major!</p>
