Bachelor of Arts in Economics

Students can declare economics as a major at the economics department office in HSS 142. The department requires that all majors meet with an advisor each spring. Advisors counsel students on the selection of economics courses, as well as G.E. requirements and other courses in the University. Students who do not see an advisor will not be able to register for the fall semester. Majors must take the core courses for a letter grade and earn a minimum grade of C in each. (CR/NC grading is not allowed for core courses.) ECON 690GW GW is the capstone course and must be taken in the senior year. Core Courses (25 units) Course List Code ECON 101 Introduction to Microeconomic Analysis 3 ECON 102 Introduction to Macroeconomic Analysis (formerly ECON 100) 3 MATH 226 Calculus I 4 ECON 301 Intermediate Microeconomic Theory 3 ECON 302 Intermediate Macroeconomic Theory 3 ECON 311 Statistical Methods and Interpretation 3 ECON 312 Introduction to Econometrics 3 ECON 690GW Senior Seminar: Economic Inquiry and Analysis - GWAR 3 Bachelor of Arts students must complete at least twelve units of complementary studies outside of the primary prefix for the major. (Note: Students may not use an alternate prefix that is cross-listed with the primary prefix for the major.) Students who complete two majors or a major and a minor automatically complete the complementary studies requirement. Alternatively, students in the Economics major can meet with a major advisor to determine which courses will satisfy the complementary studies requirement. Consult with your major advisor for assistance. Students who have earned AA-T or AS-T degrees and are pursuing a similar B.A. degree at SF State are required to fulfill the Complementary Studies requirement as defined by the major department. Students should consult with a major advisor about how transfer units and/or SF State units can best be applied to this requirement in order to ensure degree completion within 60 units.
