An internship (1 to 15 credits) can be taken by those students meeting the
internship requirements. Internships typically (but not always) are taken in
the summer prior to the senior year or during one semester of the senior year
(semester 7 or 8). Free electives credits are used for internships. The recom-
mended sequence of courses is adjusted to accommodate internship credits.

This is the recommended course sequence necessary to complete the Bachelor of
Science in Economics degree requirements in eight semesters. The student should
meet with his/her academic advisor for individualized advice on course sequenc-
ing. Academic advisors can only advise; meeting graduation requirements is
the student's responsibility.
Most upper-level (300 or above) department courses are offered only one semes-
ter a year (i.e., either only in the fall semester or only in the spring semester). This
recommended course sequence assumes the odd numbered semesters are fall
semesters and the even numbered semesters are spring semesters.
Many first-semester freshmen are more comfortable taking only 12 semester
hours their first semester in college. This is acceptable and a student still can com-
plete the degree requirements in eight semesters providing he/she adds three
semester hours to a later semester.
