Economics Department

Requirements

Economics majors must satisfy three sets of require­ments: the general requirements of Reed College, those of the Division of History and Social Sciences, and those of the Department of Economics.  The humanities and group requirements entail 13 Reed units of work, the divisional requirements add another two or four, depending on how the group requirements are met, and the major requirements adds another eight or ten, again depending on which courses have been used towards group requirements.  Since 30 units are required for graduation, this leaves between three and seven “free elective” units that can be used for any courses the student desires.
