Course Classification
The course offerings in the Department of Economics and Business are classified into two groups:
- Course numbering that starts with “ECON” can be used to satisfy a requirement for only a major in economics.
- Course numbering that starts with “BUSN” can be used to satisfy a requirement for only a major in business.
