I am a freshman and am thinking about possibly majoring in economics. What courses should I take in my freshman year?

In your freshman year, the most important courses to take are your math courses and Principles of Economics. Ideally, you should finish your math requirement (Calculus I and Calculus III) no later than the fall semester of your sophomore year. Please see the web site of the department of mathematics for information regarding AP credits and placement in the calculus sequence. In addition, if you do not already have advanced placement or transfer credit for Principles of Economics, you should take Principles of Economics either in your first year or the fall semester of your sophomore year.
