Specific requirements for the dual-disciplinary program in Economics and Political Science & International Relations
When taking the dual-disciplinary program in Economics and Political Science & International Relations, students are required to take Introduction to Public Administration (10437), which is an elective in Political Science & International Relations, instead of the required course Introduction to International Relations (10205).
Specific requirements for the dual-disciplinary program in Economics and Mathematics
When taking the dual-disciplinary program in Economics and Mathematics, students should not take Mathematics for Students of Social Sciences: Set Theory, Logic and Linear Algebra (10444) as an elective in Economics.
Taking the course Introduction to Statistics and Probability for Science Students (30203) exempts students from section (iii) of the Mathematics program, thus students are required to take 3 fewer credits in Mathematics and accumulate 62 credits in Mathematics, not 65 credits.
In section (v) of the Mathematics program, students are advised to choose Deterministic Models in Operations Research (20297, 6 cr.) or Game Theory (20216, 3 cr.). Students may take Game Theory (20216) only if they did not take Strategic Thinking: Game Theory with Economics and Business Applications (10599) as an elective in Economics.
Specific requirements for the dual-disciplinary program in Psychology and Economics
When taking the dual-disciplinary program in Psychology and Economics, students may take The Psychology of Intuitive Judgment (10352) as an elective in Psychology or Judgment and Evaluation under Conditions of Uncertainty for Students of Management and Economics (10522) as an elective in Economics, but not both.
Note regarding basic studies when combining two fields
Students taking the program in Economics and Mathematics should not take Calculus for Students of Economics and Management (10142). They are required to take Introduction to Statistics and Probability for Science Students (30203) instead of Introduction to Statistics for Students of Social Sciences I (30111). In addition, instead of Introduction to Statistics for Students of Social Sciences II (30112), they may take Statistical Inference (30204).
Students taking the program in Economics and Computer Science – Systems & Applications may take either Calculus for Students of Economics and Management (10142) or Differential and Integral Calculus I (20406). In addition, they are required to take Introduction to Statistics and Probability for Science Students (30203) instead of Introduction to Statistics for Students of Social Sciences I (30111). Instead of Introduction to Statistics for Students of Social Sciences II (30112), they may take Statistical Inference (30204).
Students taking the program in Economics and Chemistry are required to take Differential and Integral Calculus I (20406) instead of Calculus for Students of Economics and Management (10142).
When taking a combined program in Economics and a discipline in the Sciences, students may take either Computer Applications for the Sciences (20126) or Computer Applications for Social Sciences (10159).
General note regarding combining two fields
When combining fields in a dual-disciplinary program, students are required to take the basic studies in both fields. If a course is required in both fields, taking it fulfills the requirements of both. If a course is required in one field and is an elective in the other, it can only be taken as a required course in the relevant field. If a course is an elective in both fields, it will only grant credits in one of the fields.
