    Curriculum in Economics - BA     updated June 24, 2008
    Offered by the LSU College of Humanities & Social Sciences
    Total Semester Hours * 128

    • To graduate with a minor in economics, students in the College of Arts & Sciences must complete Economics 2030 (or 2000 and 2010), 2035, 4720, 4710, and six additional hours in economics. Students majoring in economics in the College of Arts & Sciences are required to take Economics 2000, 2010, 2035, 4720, and 4710. Other economics courses (at least 30 semester hours required for the major) must be chosen with the advice and approval of the Arts and Sciences advisor in the Department of Economics. If graduate study in economics is anticipated, it is strongly recommended that the calculus sequence consisting of MATH 1550, 1552, and 2085 be taken.
