Further notes:
ECON 1020 does not have to be taken in your first year. Note that this course is cross-listed as SOCS 1310. An Economics major can take the course under either number, but if it is taken as SOCS 1310, it will not count as part of the 41 hours necessary for the Economics major, although it will count towards the Social Science Core requirement. Students in the Daniels College of Business (DCB) who are not Economics majors, however, cannot take the course as SOCS 1310 and earn Social Science Core credit for it. They are required to take the course as ECON 1020 at some point during their DU career to fulfill DCB Economics requirements.
If you take ECON 2020 & ECON 2030, you can take ECON 2050 as an elective, but you cannot take ECON 3000. If you take ECON 3000, you cannot take ECON 2020 or ECON 2030.
