Economics and Management, B.A.

A Minimum of Eight Units in Economics and Management, Including:

The following list and three additional units in economics and management (one must be at the 300-level). Unless approved by the department in advance, E&M 201  and E&M 202  must be taken at Albion College. The eight units used to fulfill major requirements must be taken for a numerical grade. It is recommended that all courses taken in the department by majors be taken for a numerical grade, except those offered only on a credit/no credit basis. Normally, students will enroll in E&M 101  in either the first or second semester and E&M 102  in the semester after E&M 101 . E&M 211  is not open to first semester freshmen but is normally taken in either the second or third semester. E&M 201  or E&M 209 and E&M 202  should be taken in the second year along with the statistics cognate requirement. It is recommended that students planning a major in economics enroll in MATH 125  or calculus during their first year. Seniors may be required to participate in a senior assessment exercise…

• E&M 101: Principles of Microeconomics (1 Unit)
• E&M 102: The Economy and Financial Markets (1 Unit)

•  

• E&M 201: Intermediate Microeconomics (1 Unit)

• OR

• E&M 209: Intermediate Microeconomics with Calculus (1 Unit)

•  

• E&M 202: Intermediate Macroeconomics (1 Unit)
• E&M 211: Financial Accounting (1 Unit)

The Following Cognate Areas Must Be Completed for a Major:

The Economics & Management Department requires students to show proficiency-level equivalent to MATH 120 (College Algebra) to earn a major or minor in the department. Should a student test into MATH 100, that student must take BOTH MATH 100 AND MATH 120 to fulfill the cognate requirement.  Should a student test into MATH 120 or MATH 127 (Trigonometry), the student can take the respective course to fulfill the cognate requirement.  If a student tests into MATH 141 (Calculus I), MATH 143 (Calculus II), or beyond, proficiency will be met, thus fulfilling the MATH 120 cognate requirement.  

• MATH 120: College Algebra (1 Unit)

• OR

• MATH 127: Trigonometry (.5 Unit)

• It is recommended that this math cognate be completed in students’ first or second semester at Albion College. 

In Addition

It is recommended that individuals interested in graduate study in business or management take MATH 141  and MATH 143 . Individuals contemplating graduate study in economics should complete the mathematics/economics major.

Because of the increased globalization of the U. S. economy, all majors are encouraged to participate in approved off-campus study programs. For a list of approved programs, consult with the Center for International Education.
