BA/BS in Economics

The Bachelor of Arts in Economics is offered through the Department of Economics at Johns Hopkins and builds from introductory macroeconomics and microeconomics toward advanced electives. The two introductory courses are open to all students and serve as the entry point for most later classes. Intermediate courses in the sequence expect at least one of the introductory classes beforehand, and some expect both. Theory courses in microeconomics and macroeconomics come next and require calculus as well as the introductory pair. Upper-level electives then rely on those theory courses, with occasional permission-based exceptions. The catalogue page sets out prerequisite rules and the course list students follow, and it points readers to the general requirements for a bachelor's degree. It is useful for planning the order of courses across semesters.
