Economics

ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Summer 2023 and after)

*Please Note: Face-to-face/in-person instruction of this program is available ONLY at the main campus in Tallahassee, FL. This program is NOT available via Online/Distance Learning.*

This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The General Education and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area and diversity requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Off-track) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.

Economics is a Limited Access major and a STEM program. To be admitted into economics, you must have completed at least 52 hours, have earned a “C” or better in ECO2013 and ECO2023, be in good standing at FSU, and have an overall GPA of 2.50 or higher. It is a 39-hour major, including the math and statistics courses, and requires at least a “C minus" in all major coursework. * MAC2233 Business Calculus or MAC2311 Calculus I will be required for admission beginning in Fall 2024. * The economics major is intended to prepare students for entry into graduate schools and professional schools of law, business, economics, and social sciences. Students learn about the critical issues in economics; the tools needed to analyze those issues; and prepare them for entry-level positions in financial, managerial, and administrative areas of the public and private sector. Some of the topics covered include: theory of markets and the price system, the organization of industries, labor supply and its uses, the commercial banking and credit system, government finance, the national income and its production and distribution, economic growth and development, and international trade and finance.
