Students in the double major have 10 economics core courses, in addition to the courses in one of the specialization tracks: Theory and Policy; Managerial Economics; or Environmental Economics. While students can select any one of the tracks, certain majors tend to gravitate towards certain tracks. For example, most engineering disciplines find the Theory and Policy track the easiest to obtain because of their extensive math requirements, whereas natural scientists will find the Environment track more helpful. Business majors would find the business track the shortest route to a double major. Computer Science majors have the additional benefit of being able to choose any of the tracks to complete without any additional time.

The economics program accepts many courses offered by other majors as satisfying the economics double major requirements. For example, if you have to take MATH 219 Multivariate Calculus for your major, it counts as satisfying one of our math requirements as well.

As the Department of Economics is in the College of Liberal Arts, any course you take with the ECON prefix will typically count towards a General Education requirement. The typical major at RIT has five required GE Electives. These options can be filled with Economics courses to satisfy the double major. RIT also requires perspective classes; economics courses can satisfy the Global and Social Perspectives. A student must also complete an immersion (typically 3 courses). Finally, a student has, generally speaking, 5 free electives. All of these electives can be satisfied by taking economics courses.

In summary, university-required general education courses that can be used to satisfy the economics double major:

• 5 General Education Electives
• 5 Free Electives
• 3 Immersion Classes
• Global and Social Perspective Classes

The capstone requirement in economics is waived for majors which have their own capstone requirement (Senior Design, for example).

The Economics double major satisfies the immersion requirement.
