Sfs - ieco

<p>Hello, everyone.</p>

<p>I'd highly appreciate if a current SFS IECO major could mention his/her undergraduate schedule uptil now. I can't seem to figure out the order in whic students take courses. For example, I see that Math 035 is offered in the Spring Semester but we have to complete 4 Econ courses in the firs 4 semesters. Does this mean students take 2 Econ courses in at least 1 semester or is one of the priciples Econ courses a non-Calculus based course? :/</p>

<p>I'd appreciate if someone could tell me his/her undergrad schedule</p>

<p>Not SFS IECO but I’ve TA’d enough to speak to it.</p>

<p>Most students seem to do:</p>

<p>1st year: Principles of Micro, Principles of Macro
2nd year: Int’l trade, Int’l Finance</p>

<p>If it were me I’d try to fit Intermediate Micro and Macro into my sophomore year as well. Ideally you want Int. Micro and macro + econ stats and metrics done by your junior year, plus the above. If it’s not too late, try to grab AP credit for the intro courses so you don’t have to work your schedule around them.</p>

<p>Math -035 is offered every semester and is not a prerequisite for the principles classes, and probably not required for the int’l trade and finance classes. It is required for Intermediate micro, though, which is a requirement for the major.</p>

<p>IECO here</p>

<p>I got AP credit for Micro and Macro
freshman year - itrade (yeah I was lazy)
sophomore year - ifinance, econ stats, int macro, int micro
junior year - econometrics</p>

<p>you definitely don’t have to have these done BY junior year, but probably DURING junior year. Some people take econometrics senior fall, even</p>

<p>It’s actually not that hard to do 1-2 a semester because the other major requirements (econ electives, basically) usually don’t have these quantitative courses as a prerequisite</p>

<p>The least number of courses I’ve taken toward my major in a semester was 1. The most was 4 (gag me)</p>

<p>Ah, yes I meant “at the end of junior year” when I said “by junior year”</p>

<p>Hi, guys.</p>

<p>Are the Principles courses non-Calculus based courses? Aren’t they supposed to be Calculus based introductory economics courses?</p>

<p>Is MATH 035 just differential calculus and precludes the inclusion of the topics Nader integration, which seems to be a part of MATH 036? :confused: I got admitted to SFS-Q and only Math 035 is offered there. :/</p>

<p>Principles – no calculus
Intermediate Micro and Macro, Econ stats and econometrics – need Calc 1 (035)</p>

<p>MATH 035 is Calc 1, 036 is Calc II. You only need 035 as a prerequisite for the major – in fact, I don’t think Calc II is useful at all (Multivariable is, though – that’s Calc III)</p>
