Pre-Economics mailing list

The requirements to declare and complete the Economics major are complex. To provide advisement to students who have not yet declared the major, we've created a pre-economics mailing list. If you're considering an economics major, we strongly advise you to join that mailing list by going to http://list.mail.virginia.edu/mailman/listinfo/pre-econ. There you will receive a flow of guidance, FAQs, and reminders


Concentration In International Economics

Economics majors may declare a concentration in international economics no later than October 1 of their seventh semester. To declare it, students must have already completed Econ 372 or 472, or be enrolled in it. In addition to the five required courses for the major (201, 202, 301 or 311, 302 and statistics), students must pass Econ 421, Econ 422, and any two of:

  1. Econ 451,
  2. Econ 423, or
  3. an area studies course within the department (Econ 309, 353, 355, 456, etc.)
