Q: I am interested in taking one of the Economics electives offered by the Woods College of Advancing Studies. How do I register for a Woods College course?

The Economics department accepts the following Woods College courses offered during the regular academic year as economics electives towards the Morrissey major, minor, and CSOM concentration:

• ADEC 2210 Behavioral Economics is accepted as a lower (2000)-level elective
• ADEC 3500 Social Policy is accepted as a lower (2000)-level elective
• ADEC 3394 Urban and Regional Theory is accepted as a lower (2000)-level elective

The Department does not accept any other ADEC courses.

The Department also accepts summer courses offered by the Woods College. You may not take either of the Intermediate Theory courses nor Econometrics outside the department, which includes the Woods College.

To register for an elective during the academic year, contact the Woods College, located in St. Mary's Hall, South.

Some points to keep in mind if you take a Woods College course:

• A Woods College ADEC elective counts as a course taken "outside the department." You are permitted to take two Economics electives total, from outside the department, which includes the Woods College, study abroad, and courses taken at other universities.
• You may not take either of the Intermediate Theory courses nor Econometrics outside the department which includes the Woods College.

The Economics Department has developed a Canvas course site to help students review some of the fundamental mathematics/economics tools that they learned in their required courses. This might be particularly helpful to students who are taking upper-level economics electives and feel they need a refresher.
