Note: BIOL 200 and 204 meet the natural science (with lab) breadth requirement for the B.A. but will not meet concentration requirements in biology.

- Cognate requirements: ECON 201, 202 & one of THEO 310, 370
Notes:
1. The program allows few electives because of the combined extent of cognates and concentration courses. Electives could be used to augment the concentration to the limit of 39 credits.
2. This concentration is not a professional education as such and does not lead to a professional designation. It is sometimes used as a preprofessional preparation for an M.B.A. or for law school. See our Pre-Professional Programs.

Notes:
1. CHEM 290 meets the natural science (with lab) breadth requirement for the B.A. but will not meet concentration requirements in chemistry.
