Other Courses that Get Economics Credit

There are several other courses across the university for which Economics concentration credit or Economics secondary field credit would be awarded. Please note, instructor approval is required (and not guaranteed!) for these courses. To ensure that an approved cross-registered course gets counted for your Economics concentration, you will need to fill out this petition and have it signed by an advisor in office hours.
