| What upper division courses should I take in my first semester as a transfer student for this major? | If MATH 226 has not been taken, students should complete MATH 226 as soon as possible.

| Are there any prerequisites to these upper division courses for the major? | Students who do not have a strong mathematics preparation may be asked to take Pre-Calculus (Math 199) by the Mathematics Department before taking MATH 226. MATH 226 is a prerequisite for Economics 301 and 302. |
| Are there any registration blocks or holds in the system for this major, and if so, what do I do/who do I contact to clear them? | None for economics classes. Please see [above] about MATH 226. |
