The department gives transfer credit for only those courses that are similar to courses in the department. Although the decision is made on a case-by-case basis there are some general guidelines. To get transfer credits for either Intermediate Micro or Intermediate Macro the course must be calculus based and have an introductory course as a prerequisite. To get credit for Econometrics the course must have a statistics course as a prerequisite. No business-oriented classes (such as a marketing or management course) are acceptable with the exception of financial economics and corporate finance. Any elective that does not have Intermediate Micro or Intermediate Macro as a prerequisite can be credited at most at the 2000 level. Courses offered in departments other than economics departments can at most be credited at the 2000 level.
