<p>@patsrule how many econ classes do you have to take?</p>
<p>For the econ major, you have to take 10 total econ courses and 1 math course, but the math could be satisfied with AP credit or Calc 1/Calc II. </p>
<p>It’s basically 5 core classes (101, 112, 201, 212, and 220), 1 empirical class (either 221, 420, or 422) and 4 electives. </p>
<p>You also have the ability to choose a concentration within the major, although this is not required. There are 9 different concentrations ranging from Economic History to Behavioral Economics to International Economics, etc. If you were to choose a concentration, that would significantly change the elective courses you have to take, since you’d have to choose courses from a select group that are relevant to the concentration.</p>
<p>@patsrule I’m a transfer student with 55 incoming credits. How will I take 10 econ classes before I graduate?</p>
<p>^You’re going to be here for 5 semesters, correct? Assuming you don’t have any econ/math transfer credit, you could do something like this:</p>
<p>Spring: ECON 101, MATH 111
Fall: ECON 112, ECON Elective
Spring: ECON 201, ECON 220
Fall: ECON 212, ECON Elective
Spring: ECON Empircal Req., Econ Elective, Econ Elective</p>
<p>Emory’s looking to switch from four-credit-hour courses to three-credit-hour courses, so that should help.</p>
<p>4 semesters…I’m looking to attend summer semester though.</p>
<p>If you’ve taken any economics classes, math classes, or have AP Calc or Econ credit that would definitely help. It would be kind of tough since some of the electives require some of the “core” classes, but I think it would be doable. </p>
<p>I don’t know what GER’s you would have left, but you could probably do Econ 101 and Math 111 first semester, and if you wanted, you could do Econ 112, 201 and 220 at the same time (although 201 is usually considered fairly difficult). </p>
<p>Then the 3rd semester you could take Econ 212 and 221 and maybe an elective, and the 4th semester you could take 3 electives. It would be tough to do in 4 semesters if you have no credit, but assuming most if not all of your GER’s are done it’s possible. If not, there’s also summer school.</p>

<p>It will be difficult for you to finish a major in 4 semesters if you’re not bringing in any credit. The more GER requirements you have the better, but I think a few have limits (3 continuing writing courses, for instance, have to be taken here). As I’m sure you’re aware, summer school gives far less aid as far as I’ve heard (if that’s a consideration), and it would be far easier for you to attend summer session sooner rather than later (as intro-level classes are often offered during the summer, but upper-level classes often aren’t).</p>
