How many Economics Courses in Total?

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?

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.

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.
