What other courses should be taken by a sophomore who intends to be an economics major?

As a sophomore you should plan to take three courses: ECON 200: Quantitative Methods in Economics, ECON 251: Intermediate Microeconomic Theory, and ECON 252: Intermediate Macroeconomic Theory. The intermediate theory courses probably should not be taken during the same semester of the sophomore year and they cannot be taken if you are a FY student. ECON 200 can be taken in the second semester of the first year if you feel confident in your quantitative skills. Generally, there is no reason to take more than one economic elective during your first two years of college.
