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. Barnard will also allow 3 points credit with a score of 4 or 5 on the AP exam in Microeconomics only if the student passes the Economics Department placement exam. A student who chooses credit for AP Macro and AP Micro cannot receive Barnard credit for ECON BC 1003 or ECON W 1105 (only one AP exam, either macro or micro, can be credited if a student wants also to receive credit for ECON BC 1003 or W 1105). 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.
