Can a student take one or more elective courses from another department to fulfill the graduation requirement?
Yes. The following courses have been recommended in the past to count as an elective: • BUS 780: Financial Accounting • BUS 785: Financial Management • BUS 786: Operations Analysis • DS 853: Seminar in Data Analysis • FIN 819: Financial Analysis and Management • FIN 825: Seminar in Investments • GEOG 825: Seminar in Economic Geography • IBUS 868: Strategies in Emerging and Developing Economies • IR 728: International Political Economy • IR 735: Global Environmental Policy • MATH 325: Linear Algebra • MATH 370: Real Analysis • MATH 441: Probability and Statistics II If an advisor must recommend an outside course not on the above list, the decision must be based on its merit, such as the extent to which the course draws on economic theories and principles, or the extent to which the course enhances mathematical/quantitative skills useful for economics. An advisor must inform the graduate coordinator of his/her decision in such cases for record keeping purposes.
