Note: Terry Departments require individual review of non-equivalent transfer courses before they can be used to satisfy Area VI or major requirements.

Students must meet the following application eligibility requirements to be considered eligible to apply. Meeting these minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to the AB Economics major.

Eligible for current enrollment at UGA

Applicants must be eligible for enrollment at the University of Georgia in the semester in which they apply to the AB Economics major.

Minimum GPAs

Applicants must be in "good academic standing" at UGA, meaning they must have a 2.0 or higher UGA GPA, or no UGA GPA for a new transfer student. Applicants must also have a 2.6 or higher earned overall GPA (transfer and UGA coursework combined).

MATH 1113

Applicants must have successfully completed or have earned an exemption for MATH 1113 or a higher-level MATH course. A passing grade or exemption must be posted to your UGA academic record by the application deadline.

ECON 2105 and ECON 2106

Applicants must have successfully completed or be currently enrolled in ECON 2105 and ECON 2106. AP or IB credit exemptions are also accepted. Note: Students must earn a grade of "C" (2.0) or better in both ECON 2105 and ECON 2106 to successfully complete the AB Economics degree

BUSN 3000 (formerly MSIT 3000)

Applicants must have successfully completed or be currently enrolled in BUSN 3000 during the semester in which they are applying to the AB Economics major.

Other Curriculum Requirements

Applicants need to have completed or be in the process of completing the AB General Education Core Curriculum Areas I-VI,

OR

Applicants need to have completed or be in the progress of completing a minimum of 58 credit hours completed or in progress (not including P.E.). DegreeWorks is the official indicator to determine eligibility based on credit hours. To verify whether you meet this requirement, go to your DegreeWorks. If you are applying during the fall semester, then look at the line that says “120 Minimum Credits Required.” That line should say that you have at least 58 hours (or more). If you are applying during the spring semester and are registered to take courses during the following summer semester, you will need to exclude and subtract those summer hours from the number reported on the “120 Minimum Credits Required” line. If you are uncertain whether you meet this requirement, please consult with your academic advisor.

Note: In-progress coursework must be taken in the same semester in which students apply to their first Terry major (e.g., pre-registered summer coursework will not satisfy eligibility requirements for spring admissions).

Note: In-progress coursework must be taken in the same semester in which students apply to the AB Economics major (e.g., pre-registered summer coursework will not satisfy eligibility requirements for spring admissions). IMPORTANT: If any of the above referenced coursework has not been posted to your UGA transcript, proof of coursework must be attached to the AB application prior to the application deadline. Applicants who do not provide proof of coursework by the deadline will become ineligible. There is no guarantee of acceptance to any major in the Terry College of Business. Applications are evaluated on the High-Demand Major Selection Criteria listed below. Acceptance in the major is contingent on satisfactory completion of in-progress work. Students who withdraw from any of the above required courses are at risk of having their major admission rescinded.

Economics Courses

Final course grades in the following courses are considered. Grades in other previously completed ECON prefix courses can be considered, but are not required, for admission to the major.

Mathematics Courses

Final course grades in the following courses are considered:

Standardized Testing

Students are required to submit ACT or SAT and sub-scores to the University prior to being considered for admission to a major in the Terry College. In addition to required ACT/SAT scores, students may also supplement their application by submitting a score from the ETS Proficiency Profile if they believe that their ACT/SAT scores do not represent their current performance level. The ETS Proficiency Profile is a standardized, multiple-choice assessment of the academic skills – reading, writing, critical thinking, and mathematics. Contact University Testing Services to schedule an appointment. The ETS may only be taken a maximum of three times total in your career as a UGA student, and only the highest score will be considered in a student's application.

Statement of Purpose

A brief essay (300-400 words) in which the applicant describes his/her interest in the major and his/her future goals.

Grades in Prefix Courses

Grades in courses previously completed in the prefix of the major to which the applicant is applying can be considered, but are not required, for admission to the major.

Terry Direct

UGA students who are in good standing with the Honors Program and apply to the Terry College of Business will be guaranteed their first choice of a first (primary) major within the Terry College. This guarantee does not apply to second, double, or co-majors

These requirements and criteria are subject to change in future academic calendar years.
