          -At most one Economics course in the 1000-1099 range may be applied toward the concentration requirements.

 

*If placing out of ECON 0110, an additional 1000-level Economics course elective (which is need not be from the set of Standard electives) will be required for a total of 6 1000-level Economics courses. Note that at most one Economics course in the 1000-1099 range may be applied toward the concentration requirement.
