Economics Requirement

If you have already taken ECON 110 (for which a full-year of college-level calculus is required) and received a grade of C+ or better or, if you have taken ECON 101 and one other ECON course and received an average grade of C+ or better (with the two courses averaged together), you have completed the economics requirement.  A score of 4 or 5 on the AP exams in BOTH microeconomics and macroeconomics or a score of 5 or higher on the IB exam in economics will also satisfy the economics requirement. If you have taken no economics course at Wesleyan and if you do not have a year of college-level calculus, you must enroll in ECON 101 in the fall semester and in a second economics course in the spring semester of your sophomore year.  If you have satisfied the calculus requirement for ECON 110, you may take this course in the fall term to fulfill the requirement. If you have taken ECON 101, you must take a 200-level ECON elective during the sophomore year, preferably in the fall semester. To fulfill the economics requirement you must take economics courses for a grade and the course grade in ECON 110 or the average grade in the economics courses taken must be at least a C+.  We will be glad to answer any questions you may have on this topic by e-mail.
