When is a good time to declare a major in economics?
After you have taken ECN-111, Introduction to Economics, and perhaps one other 200-level economics course, you will have a pretty good sense of what your interest in and aptitude for economics is. If you think you might want to major in economics, contact Ken Peterson, Chair of the Economics Department, to talk about the opportunities in the department and what you can do with an economics major after graduation. His phone number is 864-294-3043. Many students choose to declare a major sometime during their second year at Furman, although some wait until early in their third year and others declare during their first year.
