Unikkatel Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I was just wondering how many economics courses in total have you guys taken in your undergraduate degree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThJefferson Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I took 14 or so, including intro micro/macro. Intro to Micro Intro to Macro Intermediate micro Intermediate macro econometrics 9 electives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GymShorts Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I took nine econ classes and four finance classes that could have been labeled as economics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thesus Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Twenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesparky Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 About 12, counting the commerce equivs as econ. Between 4 and 7 more to go, depending on how you count. The number of credits or the courses themselves were required for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazzalupi Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 The key missing variable is whether you are on semesters or quarters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unikkatel Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 Thanks for the responses guys. I am going to be taking around 23 Economics courses. They are all going to be one semester (half a year). That equates to around 2 and 1/2 years worth of economics courses (assuming 5 per semester)...Is this the norm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeneggs Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Why so many? I would think you would be better off taking some math or graduate level econ classes. I've taken 9 undergrad econ courses (semester system); 7 of them freshman year and 2 sophomore year; I've also done and will do some more grad level econ though. I bet if you ask your professors they will tell you to take more math over more econ if you're planning on grad school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philecon Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 That's quite a lot. When I get to finish my undergraduate degree, I would have taken around 12 Economics classes, plus the thesis seminar class (semester system.) Intro Micro Intro Macro Macro Micro Math Econ Econometrics 5 electives I agree with the earlier post; your professors will most probably tell you to take more math courses.

oleador Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I had 29 econ/finance courses and only 6 math... In my university one cannot choose courses - all are obligatory. Stupid system... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenhik Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 On a semester system. 17 in Economics (13 at W&M, 4 at UCSB) 6 in Finance 5 in Math (However, 4 of my Econ classes were basically math courses) I need more math classes. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karina 07 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I thought I'd balance the score here: 1, on a quarter system. I did do a master's, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zmoney Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 11 in econ 6 in Ag Econ done in a semester system but this includes semesters of research and the credit received and a PhD course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
