The Department of Economics offers a broad course of study in economic theory and applied economics. The study of economics is an important foundation for a student's general understanding of modern history and society. Barnard's major programs in economics also prepare students for graduate work in economics, business, law, public administration, and international relations, as well as for careers in business, finance, and government. The aims of the programs are: (i) to foster a critical understanding of economics and its relation to other disciplines; and (ii) to develop students' mastery of modern economic theory and its tools of analysis.
Barnard will allow 3 points credit with a score of 4 or 5 on the AP exam in Macroeconomics only if the following conditions are satisfied: an AP score of 4 or 5 in either Macro or Micro plus a passing score on the Economics Department’s Placement Exam, or an International Baccalaureate (IB) score of 5 or higher, and a passing score on the Department’s Placement Exam. The Placement Exam is offered during the program planning period at the beginning of each semester. Contact the department administrative assistant or chair in advance to arrange to take it. Students may not receive credit for Econ BC 1003 or equivalent if they have AP or IB credit for any introductory economics course. For Statistics, Barnard will allow 3 points credit with a score of 5 on the Statistics AP exam. Economics track majors, however, will not be exempt from the statistics requirement ECON BC 2411 or the equivalent, even if they receive 3 points AP credit for Statistics.
