Major Notes:
The Economics major consists of a "core" of 37-38 units and completion of one pathway, with five to choose from. Pathways range in unit requirement from a minimum of 15 (individually Designed) to 28 (Analytical Tools & Methods - Math). If you choose a lower unit pathway, you'll have room for more elective units. Consult with your major advisor before choosing a pathway.
