Additional Information:

Students may substitute BUAD 231 , MATH 351 , or SOCL 353 for the statistics requirement, but these courses do not count in the number of credit hours toward the major. MATH 106 or AP credit in statistics is sufficient for a student to take Econ 308 without first taking Econ 307. A student who takes Econ 308 meets the department computing requirement, and Econ 308 also substitutes for Econ 307 in the Core Requirements.
