The Economics Requirement

Because knowledge of the principles of economic analysis is considered basic to effective management, Linfield requires students majoring in Management to complete both micro- and macroeconomics. Microeconomics is the study of the individual and firm in the national economy, while Macroeconomics focuses on the national economy as a whole with special attention to the effects of government fiscal and monetary policies. You should complete this requirement as early in your Linfield career as possible, since it is a prerequisite for most other management courses. Linfield’s course, ECON 210, covers both micro- and macro-economics.

Departmental Quantitative Requirements

Students enrolling in business courses must demonstrate the following quantitative prerequisites:  

  1. To enroll in courses numbered BUSN 200-340, a student must have taken MATH 105 (intermediate algebra) or a higher level mathematics course.

Departmental Policy on Prerequisites
