For general university requirements, see Graduation Requirements. Students pursuing the BA degree with a major in Economics (ECON) must complete: A minimum of 14 courses (43 credit hours) to satisfy major requirements. A minimum of 120 hours to satisfy the degree requirements. Notes: As specified in their course descriptions, the following courses do not count as courses that satisfy the Electives requirement for the major in Economics: ECON 101, ECON 103, ECON 111, ECON 113 (or ECON 112), ECON 260, ECON 265, ECON 270, ECON 275. When students repeat courses or complete more than the minimum required number of courses, the departmental GPA will be based on the set of courses that (1) satisfies all requirements for the degree, and (2) results in the highest GPA for the student. However, when a course is taken at both Rice and another institution, the grade in the Rice course will be used for departmental GPA calculations.
