Transfer Credit/Study Abroad Guidelines:

Economics Study Abroad Guidelines

Courses in economics taken abroad on UW-Madison Study Abroad Programs will transfer as specific course numbers following the guidelines outlined below (see also general rules).

  1. Exact UW-Madison equivalent
    If the class has an exact UW- Madison equivalent, it will be transferred under that number.
    *If you want credit abroad for any of the following courses pre-approval is strongly recommended:
    • Principles courses 101, 102 or 111;
    • Intermediate theory courses 301, 302, 311 or 312;
    • Economic statistics courses 310 (or substitute) or 410

  2. Econ 109: Study Abroad in Introductory Economics
    Introductory level class with no exact UW-Madison equivalent. The class is unlikely to have any prerequisites. Econ 109 does not require pre-approval but does not fulfill any of the requirements of the Economics Major.

  3. Econ 309: Study Abroad in Intermediate Economics
    Intermediate level class with no exact UW-Madison equivalent. The class has Introductory Microeconomics and/or Macroeconomics as prerequisites.

  4. Econ 409: Study Abroad in Advanced Economics
