This includes courses transferred to UCB, courses taken through EAP, at summer school elsewhere, and the pre-approved courses offered at UC Berkeley through other departments (Business, History, Legal Studies, etc.). For more information, please contact the Economics Undergraduate Advisor. Courses officially cross-listed with upper-division economics courses do not count toward the two course maximum. The outside courses on this list are marked with **. |
COURSES TAKEN AT OTHER UNIVERSITIES
If you have taken an economics course at another university and wish to have it considered for major credit, please consult with the Undergraduate Advisor to determine course equivalency. If the course is a mathematics or statistic prerequisite that has been taken at another four-year university, those courses will be evaluated by the mathematics and statistics departments. Students should bring the course description as found in the school catalog, a course syllabus, and a transcript showing the final grade. The transcript can be unofficial. A maximum of two upper-division courses for the major may be accepted
