your degree. Discuss study abroad options
with your economics adviser.

abroad is your freshman year. You will
probably want to take at least one economics
course in preparation for taking additional
courses abroad.

study abroad as sophomores. You can fulfill
both general education requirements and

you can take specific classes you need for
graduation.
