Admission to the major undergraduate programs in economics is contingent on undergraduate advisor approval. Students wishing to declare an economics major may do so by meeting with the undergraduate advisor. Students wishing to declare may either stop by the advisor's walk-in hours, or e-mail to set up an appointment. This form must be filled out when meeting with the advisor and returned to department office staff (SSPA 361A) for processing.
