How do I select 300-level field courses and related courses?
Sampling various areas and professors is a perfectly reasonable approach and is encouraged, but you can also benefit by selecting courses that address your interests and goals. For example, if you are concerned about international economic issues and developing nations, you will certainly want to include 361 International Trade, 362 International Finance and 326 Economics of Developing Countries in your program; and good choices for related courses would be those that study the history and politics of parts of the world that interest you. Or if you are considering a career in finance or banking, you will certainly want to take 308 Money and Banking and possibly 362 International Finance, 360 Corporate Finance, or 309 Public Finance. There are so many possible themes and variations that the best approach is to discuss your intellectual and career interests with a faculty adviser and together map out a program that particularly suits you.
