1. We plan to offer a new course in equity asset valuation (Fin 498). The course will prepare students for the CFA and Bloomberg stock competition.

1. We plan to introduce a new course covering quantitative methods in economics (Econ 303 – Quantitative Economics). This course will be offered to our students during the fall semester of their junior year.

      2. A new mandated course sequence wherein our students complete Quantitative Economics (Econ 303), Econometrics (Econ 433), Intermediate Macroeconomics (Econ 302) and Intermediate Microeconomics (Econ 301) by the end of their junior year. Thus, the number of credit hours required for the major in economics will be increased to 123.

      3. The department will offer a new seminar in monetary theory and policy (Econ 403) to prepare the students for the Fed College Challenge.

      4. The department will offer two concentrations – a concentration in theoretical economics and a concentration in applied economics. Students are required to take three electives in each concentration.
