  Newark Undergraduate Catalog 2022-2024 School of Arts and Sciences-Newark Academic Programs and Courses Economics 220 Major Requirements  

Major Requirements


The economics major is designed to instruct students in basic economic theory and analysis, and to prepare students for a variety of fields where economics is relevant and important, including business, law, and government. The program gives students a solid grounding in both critical thinking and knowledge of the field in general. Courses provide an understanding of markets and economic systems, and how to perform research and data analysis. The major also prepares students for graduate work in economics, business, or related fields.

The major consists of a 24-credit core curriculum (including either 21:640:119 Applied Calculus or 21:640:135 Calculus I), and an additional 18 elective credits in economics, for a total of 42 credits. At least one-half of these credits must be completed at Rutgers University-Newark. All courses must be completed with a grade of C or better.


The 18 elective credits in economics may also include any three of the following four courses from the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-Newark and New Brunswick:

    29:390:386  Futures and Options (3)
