Notes:
  1. Students are permitted to choose their secondary field from a wide range of possible areas offered outside the economics department. This outside field is not necessarily restricted to management topics (e.g., accounting, finance, or marketing), but can include such areas as agricultural economics, mathematics, political science, statistics or transportation. Students must, however, obtain formal approval of unusual field sequences from the Economics Policy Committee.
  2. The two-course sequence for a field in Econometrics consists of Econ 673 and a second advanced Econometrics course approved by the Economics Policy Committee. The second Econometrics course offered will be dictated by staffing considerations and student interest. Completing a field in econometrics is complicated by the fact that the two-course sequence typically cannot be started until after Econ 672 is taken in the fall semester of the second year. Some well-qualified students may be able to take both Econ 672 and one of the Econometrics field courses at the start of their second year, and thus complete a field in Econometrics during their second year. Most students seeking a field in Econometrics, however, should plan on completing the Econometrics field courses during their third year.
  3. Course requirements assigned to second year students may be different from those assigned to the third and fourth year students in a workshop to reflect differences in experience and course load.
